Unfortunately : Unfortunately the description of your symptoms does not allow me to provide a very educated suggestion as to the cause of your problems. In particular, the causes for abdominal discomfort can be quite diverse, ranging from an "internal organ" problem, such as gallbladder, intestine, pancreas, urological, gynecological, to musculoskeletal, such as a hernia, to neurological, such as a pinched nerve or neuralgia due to infection. In order to provide a more logical path to working out the cause of your pain, one would want to know about the nature of your pain (characterize it, sharp, dull, constant, crampy, associated with eating, change with movement, referred pain), and associated symptoms, such as the presence or absence of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, distention, weight loss, other medical history, including history of alcohol use if the history does not provide any indication, then host of tests, probably including mri, ct scans, ultrasound and possibly endoscopy and/or colonoscopy, as well as blood tests including liver function tests, tests for pancreatitis, urine tests may be necessary in the end, your primary care physician should feel free to liberally utilize specialists to assist.

The potential: causes of abdominal pain are too numerous to list. X-rays are of limited value in the work-up of abdominal pain and cannot detect many conditions. If you have only had x-rays, your work up may not be complete. Talk to your doc about next steps.
