Stomach Discomfort/Pain

[Game7840]

I'm a 29 year old male and I was just curious if anyone knows. I've had a mild stomach pain for about a month and a half, it's always only in one location at a time but it travels from left to right to my upper abdomen. Lately it seems to be more localized on my left side just above my hip bone and has over all gotten more and more mild. At times I don't feel a thing. I guess my question is, if it was something more serious, like colon cancer, would the pain be more persistant and get worse over time?

I'm planning on making an appointment with a GI but should I worry? I know the fact that I've had anxiety over this doesn't help either......

it would seem to get more constant and worse if it is anything serious.  colon cancer is highly unlikely at your age if there is no family history.  it sounds more like gas or ibs.

Yeah, there isn't any family history. I think I've been worried because this is a new thing for me, I've never felt this before or for this long. Although the fact that it isn't getting worse and seems to be getting more mild is a positive thing.

yeah i had the same thing and freaked out.  they ran all sorts of tests on me for nothing.
