Q: what causes a pain in the left side of the abdomen just above the waist?

: Left side of the abdomen just above the waist is where several organs exist. They include: stomach, pancreas, intestines, and spleen. The pain could be from any one of those; however, the most common cause is gas in the stomach. If persistent and constant, you should see a doctor about it.
