Hi! I'm new here. I am a 21 year old girl needing some help.

So ever since last spring ive been having this mysterious pain in my upper left flank area. Its kind of below my armpit towards my back. The pain comes and goes in short stabby bursts. Sometimes it hurts really bad but never goes on for more than half an hour at a time. I'm starting to get really worried because it's been so long and I am still getting this pain in the exact same spot. When I tried to look online everyone who also has left flank pain says its in their lower region while mine is towards the top. I just dont have any idea what it could be. Im scared it might be some kind of aneurysm. Does anyone have any clue what this pain could be and what I should do? Thank you very much!!
