show off. What’s your BMI? Like 18 or something?
sounds like a hangover. Do you often drink alcohol in excess of normal? Please submit your age, height and weight.
how often do you get drunk and get into bar fights? Is your BMI normal?
I don’t know what good BMI is 
I’m not in great shape. Definitely need to exercise more and lose the Covid 19 
Enumerated for easier response:

There is nothing normal about BruteFarce.
I’m going to mention possibly unrelated issues:
Sometime in November/December, I got a pain in my left side/lower left abdomen when I was throwing a frisbee. I thought I probably tweaked an oblique muscle and rested it for a week or so. It was feeling better after rest.
The week before Christmas I was awakened around 6am with horrible abdominal discomfort, followed by violent diarrhea and vomiting for about 3 hours. I also had chills and cold sweats, but no fever. It was bad enough that I considered going to the ER. It completely disappeared after 3 hours (with no medication), and I felt fine the rest of the day.
Had 2 completely normal days, then on day 4 I also had violent diarrhea accompanied by chills and cold sweats. No vomiting this time, but I didn’t feel well for most of that day.
I was overdue for a colonoscopy anyway so I went to the GI doc. Had a colonoscopy and an endoscopy, and got a clean bill of health. GI doc doesn’t think my side/abdominal pain is GI related. I then went and got a full physical with lots of lab work, and I got normal numbers on all tests. Both docs suspected food poisoning, but I think that’s pretty unlikely as the wife and I ate the same meals the day prior. I also never experienced the kind of abdominal pain/discomfort in the times I believe I had food poisoning before. It didn’t feel like the cramping you can sometimes get with diarrhea.
My lower left abdomen is still experiencing occasional discomfort. I have not had a recurrence of the other symptoms though.
Some of your symptoms are similar to gall stones.

My father had his gallbladder out when he was around my age. I did mention this to both docs. However, gallbladder is right side rather than left.
Maybe your organs are backwards.
It could be referred pain. 
I know someone who had her gall bladder removed whose initial symptom was back pain (I think that’s more common than left side pain, but what do I know?)
That probably would have shown up in one of the scopes, right?
One detail I left out: of course any time you are talking pains in your abdomen or chest and are over 40, they want to rule out heart attack. I did have an EKG too which was normal.
What if the doctor was holding the scan backwards???
For whatever it’s worth, my gallstone attack pain was not on the right side of my body, it radiated through me and often felt more like stomach pain than how I read it should feel.

I did get a “liver function panel” and a CBC, which I gather can sometimes point to any issues with the gallbladder. Both were normal.

Pretty sure you are joking, but a relative of my ex’s was a dental hygienist and the dentist she worked for pulled the wrong tooth from a patient because a different hygienist had put the patient’s x-ray on the light-thing backwards.
Dentist was sued for malpractice, ex’s relative had to testify even though she wasn’t personally involved, it was a big mess. Patient got a pile of money but I don’t recall how much. Weird stuff like that happens.
When hubby went in for back surgery the surgeon literally signed his back and wrote right on hubby’s skin what they were doing. I presume to prevent some sort of horrendous mix-up.
I’ve seen that quite a bit* on netflix-like documentaries where the surgeon signs someone’s leg to indicate “this is the one we’re sawing off”.
*i.e., more than once…well, maybe just once, but it was memorable, so it seemed like more.
I think also to prevent a different doctor from walking into the OR, failing to notice it wasn’t his patient / he (or the patient) is in the wrong OR, and performing an appendectomy or a bowel resection instead.

Is there any history if liver disfunction on the family? In my family, we have Gilbert’s syndrome which means our balky liver does not clear all the bilirubin sometimes. It is considered a “benign” condition. But when it is high (fatigue/diet/whatever I can’t figure out) headaches, chills, and abrupt and lousy diarrhea can occur.
So has bilirubin ever been high? If they test your blood when you feel great, they might not catch the abnormally high bilirubin count.
I think unrelated to the lower ab pain.
Is there any other kind?
