Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain in left flank. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query arthritis infection in the spine , pinched nerve , kidney infection , kidney stones , pancreatitis or spleen damage. I would suggest you to consult gastroenetologist for proper examination . Doctor may order ultrasound along with endoscopy and physical examination . Doctor may refer you to nephrologist for kidney problem or orthopedic surgeon for muscle and bone problem . For now eat light and non spicy , apply warm compresses and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
