What is this aching pain on the left side above my waist line?

Question

I've noticed a aching pain on my left side when I walk or run. But when I am resting it doesn't hurt. It feels like the kind of cramp you get when you run but it hasn't gone away for about 4 days. I have tried coughing to see if anything bulges just in case its a hernia but nothing happens. Anyone know how to get the pain to go away or what might be wrong?

Answer 1

Some hernias are very small and hard to detect yourself.  I would suggest you go and see a doc to make sure it isn't something other than a small hernia though.  

Answer 2

I had several ideas:

--have you had any constipation?  could be that

--Do you have the pain anywhere else?  Usually the appendix is on the right side, and is accompanied by flu like symptoms

--I doubt it is a kidney stone because that would be a sharp pain.

--Could it be your ovaries?

Okay..that's all the ideas I had lol
