Flank pain due to sports
Especially in a ball sport, a collision with a teammate, for example, can cause a bruise on the left flank, a bruise occurs and causes pain. In the case of a severe injury, it is also conceivable that one or more ribs could be broken. However, a very unfortunate accident during sport can also lead to damage to the internal organs (kidney, spleen, pancreas). Flank pain on the left side after sport is usually harmless and can indicate an overload of the back and trunk muscles (muscle ache) caused by tension or nerve irritation.
