An MRI or Ultrasound may be more helpfull in this case than a CT scan, as these tests are better at looking at soft tissue, and detecting tumor like masses. You may also want to talk to your doctor about whether or not a colonoscopy may be warrented in your case, it may find something inside the colon that would not otherwise be visible on standard test. If a colonoscopy shows nothing, exploratory surgery may be warrented. Your spleen, is located much higher on the left side, partly under the rib cage, so I would suspect your colon.

Acute pain in lower left abdominal
I have had a sharp pain in my side for a week. It hurts when I sit, bend forward, cough, and feels like a baseball sitting inside of me.It is located on my left side between my hip bone and belly button. I have seen to docters and they both don't know what is causing to pain. I have had to following done: CT scan, x-ray, blood drawn, urine test, and a rectal exam. I could still feel it even after given morphine and oxycodne, etc. Any guess on what could be causing it. Large intestine, spleen?
