What Causes The Pain In The Left Flank?

I have been having left lower quadrant and left flank pain for 3 weeks. Had a CT of my abdomen and pelvis that only showed an adrenal cyst on my right kidney. I have taken multiple laxatives, mirulax and milk of mag since last Tuesday. Have had diarrhea since Sunday but continue to have the pain. It does not get any better after I have a BM. Any other ideas or do you think it is still from constipation? I have the constipation-dominant IBS and take Amitza twice a day. Thanks
