Twinges left abdomen

[WhatsNotTaken]

I have had mild, intermittent "twinges" just to the right of my left front hip bone for 3 months.  It's not very painful, just scary.  I tend to notice it more when I am not busy.  Saw my GP who said to come back in a few weeks if it didn't stop.  Went back.  Had a pelvic exam which appeared normal.  Ordered a pelvic ultrasound, with results coming back as normal.  My doctor now has ordered a pelvic CT scan.   I'll certainly have this test if I need it, but am worried (a little) about the radiation.  My symptoms are not that physically troubling and I don't know if it's worth the risk.  Really, even using the word "pain" for this seems overblown.  It is a very mild pinching or twinging that lasts a few seconds.  Happens throughout the day and does not seem to correlate with any activity...seems totally random.  I am a healthy 45 year old female, 5'4" and about 120 pounds and exercise at least 5 times a week.  Other than these twinges, I feel great.  If someone told me they were completely benign and I had to live with them the rest of my life, I'd say, "Great!  Easily done!"  But of course no one can say that and I feel a bit anxious at times about this.  Can't seem to really find anyone on the internet with a similar problem...at at least not one with an answer!  Did find a post from someone who seemed to be experiencing the EXACT same thing as me, but no answer, and the post as about 9 years ago.  No way to get ahold of her.  Any thoughts on what this might be?

I had the same thing twinges every few minutes in lower left abdomen including at night and tight muscles in my back.Before visiting my doctor I thought I would get my Osteopathe to check me out.He found a blocked joint between a rib and my spine which was trapping a nerve which ended up in my lower abdomen.He adjusted the joint and spent some time working on the muscles.24 hours later the twinges started to get milder and 48 hours later completely stopped.I thought this might be worth mentioning to anyone who has similar symptoms.
