Brief Answer:
You need to be examined clinically

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your query. To be able to answer your question, I would need to know:
* How long the pain has been there?
* The type of pain (colicky / dull ache / burning)
* Whether it has any relation to intake of food
* Whether it is associated with any other symptoms like vomiting
* Whether you have constipation.
*The exact disposition of the pain

The above information may help me narrow down the possibilities.

That being said, pain that lasts for 2 weeks isn't normal. And ideally I will recommend you be examined by doctor which will allow us plan a treatment.

Without more clinical details, the cause be
- due to gastritis or hyperacidity is very common and involves the stomach which is to some extent on the left side.
- The left side below stomach contains the colon and constipation could lead to pain over the area that you are describing.

Hurting on bending can be a feature of both these conditions. Either of the mentioned conditons are linked to slow bowel movements and the situation can improve if you can ensure proper bowel movements. Intake of plenty of green leafy vegetables, intake of fibre supplments and walking regularly in the morning - can help you in taking care of the problem.

- Another probable cause of the described pain is costochondritis where the pain involves the lower ribs. If that is the case, pain medication such as tylenol pain relief along with omeprazole as well as high fibre diet would help.

Brief Answer:
Could be costochondritis

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. Going through the new details, costochondritis seems more likely. But there is no way to confirm without a clinical examination. Try tylenol as required, for next few days. If that does not help, you need to visit your doctor.
