Pain in lower left abdomin

For the past few days I have this outrageous pain in my lower left side.  It hurts so bad and after I eat I get all bloated and I am constipated and even have a hard time passing gas.  Anybody know what it could be!  I see the doctor tomorrow but I'm in so much pain and would love if someone knew of any home remedies?

Thank you both.  Thankfully it doesn't seem to be appendix, more then likely problems due to constipation (IBS) or a blockage in my bowels.  Got a change in currant meds as well as more constipation meds.  I hope something helps:)

I can think of 2 things.  1-do you have a fever?  if so, could be your appendix.  Weird I know.  I was told that pain in the lower left is quite possibly appendix. 2- could just be irritable bowel.  That is where your colon is.  I had that several years ago.

Hope you feel better.

Microwave some ginger ale or any type of carbonated drink for 5-10 seconds. This will help with the bloating. Try using a hot compress on your stomach to treat the bloating. If the pain is too severe then I recommend visiting the hospital.
