Pain manifests itself in many different ways. I know as I suffer from chronic pain as a result of an auto accident. The orthopedic doctors thought it was a disk problem. By chance I happened to be referred to a neurosurgeon who found my pain was being caused by the SI Joints which had fractures from the accidents. As a result of this I have learned that family practice type doctors generally treat the obvious and do not go looking for the pickle in the herring barrel.
You do not say if you are seeing a specialist or if you are being treated by your family doctor. I would suggest you ask, if needed, to be referred to one or all of the following specialist. You should see a neuroSurgeon, An internal medicine specialist and a cardiologist. I'm including the cardiologist only because of your inclusion of symptoms on your left side.
If you happen to have a teaching hospital in you area or a Trauma hospital use their patient referral line to find these doctors. This is how I was referred to the neurosurgeon who properly diagnosed my injury. Turned out he was a well respected nationally ranked surgeon, an adjunct professor at the med school and the head of the Neuro Recovery unit for the Trauma recovery unit at the Trauma center. It does not get any better that that.

I am not a doctor but I am going to tell you what was wrong with me my syptoms and how they doctors figured out what was wrong with me and how they fixed it and you can see if it is like what you are saying. okay i had migranes for years! nothing helped them sometimes they would last several days. on my right side are you sure yours is your left? my pain would be so bad id up on the floor and i would be throwing up i was scared with the pain that i would start sweating. Mine was my gall bladder they thought i was having panic attacks. have you talked to a doctor about the pain in your cheat you should really have some tests done to rule things out.
Try and eat something like a dounut from t he store and pay attention do you get pain after eatting it? If so its your gall bladder.

Good grief. Why are you asking us? Get to the doctor ASAP.
In response to your feedback - But it IS a big deal! That's what I mean. Go see a doctor. If it is worrying you and causing you pain, it is TOTALLY a big deal. Don't worry about that. Just go find out what's wrong so you can be healthy. When it comes to your health and safety, there's no such thing as a BIG deal.
