Diseases of the spleen

I get a sharp pain in my left upper quadrant of my belly, several times a day. The pain is so intense and sends pain radiating down my left leg into my foot. It usually only lasts a few seconds but then goes away. The pain literally brings me to my knees. Can anyone help me?

The pain I had from the cyst on my spleen referred up to my left shoulder. It got to the point to where it was painful on the upper side of the abdomen as well. I never had any pain in my legs. It was more like a constant dull pain. All sharp pain went up to my shoulder.

Every situation is different, and I'm not a doctor, but your case doesn't sound like the spleen (or at least similar to my situation).
