hi, first do you lay on that side often? the area of pain is where your descending colon lies, if your pain persists for more than a week then you should see your gp and ask for a colonoscopy, that area of the colon is a well known area for colon cancer, i dont want to scare you but better be safe than sorry and have a test, cheers.
