You're probably right: Usually, the patient has best have a feeling your intuition is often right. Another thing to consider besides muscle spasm however is something called diverticulitis. This is an inflammatory reaction to a small pocket in the colon, usually in the left lower quadrant of the abdomen.

Probably is : Go easy on the alcohol, sometimes associated with pancreatitis, which can cause pain in the left back. If it is a strained muscle there should be a history of starting of the pain after exercise or exertion. If this persists see your doctor.
