Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.

You have got a pain in the upper left abdomen and can be due to many other factors too as follows::
- Stomach ulcer has already been diagnosed and you are already treatment with Lansoprazole , but not helping.
-Left colon inflammation,
-spleen enlargement
-Tail of Pancreas having inflammation or tumor.
-Left kidney fullness or stone

I would advise the following:
-CT scan of the abdomen
-Colonoscopy
-Physical examination and clinical evaluation bya Gastroenterologist , preferably a Surgical one.

Once the proper diagnosis is done treatment will be fruitful:
Continue Lansoprazole
Add Ranitidine
Domperidone
antacid gel 3 hourly
Soft bland diet
Treatment of the stress and anxiety

In this way your proper diagnosis and treatment with cure is possible.
