What would cause me to wake at night with severe left side back pain? doesnt happen all the time but, when it does i can't sleep?!

Possibly renal colic: Though one can't be sure from your description. Flank pain may be caused by a kidney stone. It may be paroxysmal and go away. It is also extremely painful. I would get a cat scan.
