Can Spleen Enlargement Cause Pain Under Left Of Rib Cage?

Hello...I have had pain in my lower left side, under my ribcage, for about 2 months. The location is close to where the spleen is. Results of tests have shown Bilirubin slightly high, a 1.4 cm cyst on my left kidney, possible stone in my right kidney, 888 cc enlarged spleen...the test on my pancreatic enzymes showed one slightly high. Doctors don t seem too concerned but have ordered a CT scan. Is it possible that the enlarged spleen is applying pressure to the area that is hurting? Is it possible the pancreas is affected in some way and causing the swelling in the spleen? I have two weeks until my CT scan but still have pain, pain that gets sharp when I twist or turn quickly, sneeze or cough. Can you shed some light? Thank you.
