I've been having occasional pain in my lower left abdomen and then it shoots up into my back. what could be causing this.

Radiating pain: Retroperitoneal structures like the ureter can cause both abdominal and back pain. Therefore this could be a kidney stone passing down the ureter. Ovarian cyst is another possibility you need to see your primary care physician for further evaluation.
