Many times my right-side cramping is outmatched by stabbing pain on my left-side. My doctor has discovered I have Gilbert's Syndrome. I see many complaining about this pain on the left-side. Maybe this is your case.

Gilbert's (zheel-BAYRZ) syndrome is a common, mild liver disorder in which the liver doesn't properly process a substance called bilirubin. Bilirubin is produced by the breakdown of red blood cells. This can cause liver and kidney pains.
 
I'm glad you were able to get a diagnosis for it! How was it diagnosed and is there a treatment or lifestyle change involved?
