Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
You have got a pain on the left side of the abdomen; for your information the liver is on the right side of the abdomen so a liver damage - Hepatitis can not cause pain on the left side.
Since you have got pain on the left side occasionally, it is possibly be due to colitis or impacted feces.
Consult a Doctor whenever you get pain and since you have got a suspicion about liver problem get liver function tests done once at least so that the phobia will go away .
