What Can Be The Cause For Left Side Pain?

Hey im 17 years old and about 3 years ago I started getting left side pains. When im sitting, the pain intensify's. Sometimes the pain is dull and sometimes I have to lay for the pain to go away. I went to a doctor and he said i have scoliosis but thats not causing it, btw he didnt do an xray. Can anyone help?
