Hello,
Welcome to hcm,
Pain in left side could be because of many reasons like urinary tract infection, renal or uretric calculi, colitis, gastritis etc..As you developed pain suddenly I feel its colitis. I advise you to take antispasmodics which may relive your pain. If pain doesn't subside then consult your doctor for proper diagnosis.

Thank you
