Question: What is on the left side of your body??
Answers: What is on the left side of your body??
Agree with pancreas/pancreatitis as a possible cause of pain.
Make a serious attempt to get your boyfriend help for his drinking problem, but if he can't shake it, leave before the relationship gets more involved, for example, with children. It sounds cruel, but alcoholism is terrible for a relationship. There are other fish in the sea.
Kidney comes to mind considering his alcohol consumption. Also, liver is a large organ that basically spans the entire width of the body. Liver is the organ that is responsible for getting rid of alcohol from the human body.
Your liver is on the right side of your body. could possibly be a kidney or something possibly unrelated. appendix??
Could be the pancreas. With pancreatitis you feel pain in the upper abdomen not specifically the left side. But given that he drinks a whole lot (responsible for many of the cases of pancreatitis) and has abdominal pain....it would definitely be worth checking out.
It could be his pancreas. The pancreas is affected by chronic excessive drinking. Its located on the upper left abdomen just below your ribs.
kidney it is
