Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i must opine that an ultrasound scan of abdomen is the single test to know for sure, if your pain is related to the left kidney.
If you've not done it so far, get it done at the earliest.
If you've done it already, then the cause of your pain originating from the left kidney, should be clear.
If you've any other doubt, you may send me a copy of the reports, here, in my name. Wish you well.
