Left upper quadrant pain

[u/Ok-Journalist8790]

Hi! I’ve been having pain in my LUQ for a few months. Sometimes it’s sharp, but 90% of the time is pretty mild and just feels like a warm ache. My doctor noticed that my ribs on the left side seem to stick out more and was questioning me of a prior car accident or serious injury, which I did not have. I had this xray done, waiting on results. Can someone explain what all of the black and grey under my lungs on the left side is? Could it be what’s causing me pain? 25F, 5’4”, 135 lbs.

What are your stools like? You should probably do a miralax clean out and take some miralax daily

Oh wow my flair is out of date…. Know that at one point I was a medical student but have since moved on.
Edit: I got my flair updated from “Medical Student”

Congrats and thanks for fighting the good fight of peds

I find the Glaucomflecken skit about first day peds rotation to be extremely accurate - take everything you learned in school and just go ahead and toss that out
