Spasm or strain of the muscles is likely to be the cause. This usually results from wrong or heavy lifting, or following a sudden improper movement or maintained wrong posture.

Muscle spasm alone can cause the pain which can be an unidentified cause.

In these cases, self care and avoiding the precipitating cause will lead to a gradual but clear improvement in the pain. Home treatment includes the use of analgesics, cold or hot therapy.

Rest for maximum two days is also beneficial.

If these measures fail to relief the pain or to improve symptoms in 48 hours, you should visit your doctor for better evaluation and for exclusion of other causes that need specific therapy.

Other causes for left sided abdominal pain include:

- GI causes like

IBS in which alternating constipation and diarrhea with abdominal distension are main symptoms.

Gastritis and GERD.

- Urinary problems like renal colick.

Follow up with your doctor is essential.

Depends on where on the waist and a number of other things. For instance, it could be something as simple as gas or indigestion, or something more serious such as Krohn's Disease or Shingles (chicken pox virus). Or, you could have just bumped something and forgot :P

It is possible that it could be constipation or most likely , a spasm or strain of the muscles to be the cause. But muscle spasms alone can be it but it is not identified why it does that, If the pain gets worse either take motrine or see a docter.
