LOWER LEFT ABDOMINAL PAIN

MY SON HAS HAD LEFT LOWER ABDOMINAL PAIN FOR 1 1/2 YRS. AND HAS HAD ALL THE GI TESTS, HE NOW FEELS THAT THE PAIN COMES ON WITH HEAVY LIFTING, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THIS COULD BE? I'M HOPING FOR A LAPROSCOPE REAL SOON BUT THE DOCTORS DON'T LIKE TO DO THAT, I THINK THIS IS REASON ENOUGH TO DO THIS.

has your son seen a doctor to rule out a hernia?  it should be very easy to tell from an external exam.  exploratory laparoscopic surgery is not a good idea until other tests have been ruled out.

jUST WANTED TO ADD THAT HE IS 25 YRS. OLD. I'M WONDERING IF HE COULD HAVE SOMETHING WRONG SUCH AS INTERNAL HERNIA?
