Upper left abdomen pain that started about a week or two ago and it gets very painful after i eat anything or it feels like something is pushing my abdomen. it radiates to left back sometimes or middle upper abdomen?

Symptom may be due to gastritis (inflammation of the stomach lining) or peptic ulcer (gastroduodenal). A trial of antacid such as Mylanta 20 cc, in between meals and at bed time for three days. If pain lessens, you should start Pepcid or Famotidine (OTC), 20 mg, twice a day for 2 months then stop. If it recurs in the future see a GI doctor. If antacid trial does not work, you should see a doctor.
