Upper left side abdominal pain?

my girlfriend has a very bad pain in her upper left side abdominal region, she said it feels like a knife is stuck in her, we think it may be her kidney or maybe just a muscle spasm. does anyone know what this is? should we go to the hospital?

she should go to the hospital if and or:she has a fever, is sweating, the pain stays the same or increases, her urine looks dark, or is less in quantity than usuall, vomiting and or diarrhea. if any of these occur, she may be having a kidney stone, kidney infection, pancreatitis or even gall stones (i know the gb is on the right, but,,,).none of these conditions can be ignored.goodluck;)michele

If it is her kidney, it would hurt when you tap on the sides of her back. The only thing there is intestine. Could be diverticulitis (this is in older women) and usually is assocaited with nasuea and diarrhea.
