question: Hi, I seem to have a constant pain the last couple of days, lower abdomen, left side, above my hip.  Tender to touch. I am female, 50, in good health except for iron deficient anemic to the point of having transfusions, and iron IVs, plus monthly B-12 shots. I am having blood work done by hematologist tomorrow and would like to at least be educated enough to describe this properly and perhaps know some of the possibilities.   Thanks
