What Causes Pain In The Left Side Of Stomach Above Hip?

I have been having sever pain in the left side of my stomach just above my hip for 5 days now, sometimes it helps if I push onto my side but then after a few seconds the pain intensifies....At time the pain is so strong I buckle over and then it fades but is never really goes away I have been able to sleep though, it seems to subside when I lay flat on my back.

Hi. Noted the history. IT is quite atypical and does not fit into any symptoms complex. I would advise you the following tests.
CT scan of the abdomen
Colonoscopy
If required Enteroclysis .
All these investigations may give a clue to the reason of pain .
The treatment will depend upon the actual findings , till then you can have anti-spasmodic tablets.
