Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, let me assure you, that left kidney pain can be easily diagnosed, after doing the tests as mentioned by you.
If you can send a copy of the CT and MRI scans , i can give an expert opinion about cause of the pain. Hope your urine and creatinine tests are done. Kindly mention your age and gender
Send the reports as a direct question, in my name, and i shall give you an expert advice.
