What Does Persistent Pain In The Lower Abdomen Of A 15-year-old Indicate?

My 15 year old daughter has persistent pain in the left side of her lower abdomen. Sometimes it is sharp and limits her movement often it is burning but not sharp. It has been re-occurring for over 18 months now. We have looked and X-rays and done blood tests but nothing has come up. Her pain is real, and I need to figure out what it is and how to help her
