Because I am in so much pain on my left side it goes away for awhile and comes back anyways I had the ct scan nothing showed up thank god but still they gave me no pain meds so now I'm home been trying to deal with it

Where exactly? I ended up back in the hospital for 4 or 5 days because my lower left side/lower left side on my back (wrapped around) hurt and psi meds weren't helping much. Turned out to be a splenic infarcture. Basically part of my stomach shared a blood supply with my spleen, so cutting it out stopped blood flow to that part of my spleen. it was no big deal though, the tissue there scarred down/shrank and stil works!! About a week after no more pain!

I am going through the exact same thing. My pain is in my shoulder and abdomen. Only thing that helps is a heating pad on my shoulder--and the help is minimal.

I'm two weeks out and I still have some pain on my left side. It'll go away gradually day-by-day. A heating pad has worked wonders for me.

Sorry to hear that. Heating pads have helped me also. I'm a week out, and still am very sore. The gas pain is gone, but my left side can get bad especially with any rotational movement. I'm a side sleeper and I always end up on my left side. I think that is my main problem, have you looked at how you sleep?
