[|Human|] Ive been having a sharp pain on my left side, waist level, above hip bone. The most pain happens when I take a step, shifting my weight when walking. I can push hard into my side and feel where it is, right above hip bone, on the side not the front like a period pain. I can totally deal with a pulled muscle issue but I wanted to make sure it isnt where you would feel pain if you had a liver or a kidney issue?
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. You mentioned that pain is on the left side, at waist level above hip bone. This pain is in the abdomen deep-seated. However, there are so many reasons of this pain. From how many days, you are feeling this pain ? Is there urine problem ? Loss of appetite ? One of the most important points is that LIVER is on the right side so don't concern about that. Now you query is that this pain may be due to kidney trouble? I would say not, because in kidney pain usually there are burning micturition, blood in urine may be or may not be. If stone in the urinary tract system than it may be. So for this you have an X-ray K U B (involves kidney ureter, bladder). Consult a physician and get in his opinion and deal accordingly. However, urine examination may reveal some diseases, if any. Don't forget about intestine pain, as this is most common on this side. So before any diagnosis assessment is necessary by an expert through physical examination. Hope I have answered your question. If further any question I will help. Good luck.
