HI.
A lot of pressure and pain on left side can be due to colitis. Due to inflammed splenic flexture or a stricture or a Cancer you can get this problem.
I would advise you to undergo colonoscopy and biopsy and Baium enema; both have different functions.
It is good that you have already undergone CTscan.
Obviously you need to take a course of an antibiotic and metronidazole.
