A member asked:

24hour episode of extreme pain in left lumbar abdomen. er workup normal except 33mm splenic cyst & and l5s1 disc extrusion. is one of these the cause?

See details: The splenic cyst means nothing. The disc issue could certainly be the cause but it is impossible to say without being able to examine you.

Probably not: Spleen would hurt much higher and l5/s1 pain woukd be sciatic pain. Think renal colic if not diverticulitis.
