What Causes Pain In Upper Left Quadrant Of Abdomen?
I have a pain in the upper left quadrant of my abdomen and it is especially painful at night if I lie on my left side. There is less pain during the day as long as there isn't anything applying pressure to my abdomen or I am standing. What could this be?

welcome to Health care magic.
1.It could be renal calculus ( kidney stones ).
2.Depending upon your age - it can be bowel symptoms like diverticulosis / dive tilitis.
3.Even pancreatic chronic cases gives similar symptoms.
4.In all cases initial imaging i would request my patients is an ultrasound abdomen pelvis - which will rule out many of these causes.
5.Get an appointment and get the scan done and further followup. hope it helps you.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
