My husband is experiencing shooting pain in his left lower bowel area. He tries to poop but nothing is there. He has taken Advil for the pain, which came on suddenly while resting. He is 50 years old, in reasonably good health, and not on any medication. He has not seen a doctor about this before. What could be causing this pain and what should he do?
