Hello,

As you are having pain on the left side of the body I will advise you to take up the MRI scan of the spine so we can understand if any major nerve root is getting trouble. Since the one side pain is not a sign to ignore. It has to do with some pathology. As with rest, it uses to go away and now it's constant it is always better to get examined by a neurologist and find the possible cause for the same.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
