3. Kidney Stones

Kidney stones can cause severe, sharp pain in the lower left abdominal area, side and back. These stones form from a buildup of mineral deposits in the kidneys. There are several reasons why kidney stones occur, including dietary issues and low fluid consumption.

Other symptoms include vomiting and nausea, blood in the urine and infections that may lead to fever, chills, weakness and fatigue. It's vital that individuals experiencing these symptoms seek medical care. Kidney stones won't resolve without treatment and can lead to dangerous complications.3‘Kidney Stones: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment.’ Medical News Today, MediLexicon International, www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/154193#symptoms.
