Flank pain : Constipated? would do CT of the abdomen and pelvis , and look for appendicitis - you can have chronic appendicitis, as well as colon, if female check a pregnancy test before the CT but look for ovarian /uterine pathology as it may not be well seen on ultrasound. Also check for pancreas, liver ,gallbladder ( which can be seen well on ultrasound if they looked at it. f/u /w/ MD
