What Causes Pain In Left Upper Quadrant Of Abdomen?

Hi, I've been getting this pain in my left uppr quad. I went to the ER because the pain was getting worse. After a cat scan, i was told that I had back up stool. This was a little over month ago and I still get the pain on the same location. Could it be something else?
