? Gas collection: Left upper abdominal discomfort may be due to gas trapped in the splenic flexure of the colon. Do you get bloating? Another cause could be mild muscle strain. Are you doing anything that may be straining that area? Do turning and twisting affect that area? If the discomfort persists or worsens, your physician may check further with a ct scan or a mri.
