Left Side Abdominal Pain

I have had pain on the left side, underneath the rib cage for 18 mos on and off. Does not respond to Prilosec, antacids, etc. Tylenol seemed to give me diarrhea. The pain at times feels like muscle pain, but occasionally I have right side pain as well radiating to R shoulder. I do have increased bowel and stomach noises and occasional sharp stomach pain when I eat a larger meal. I also have occasionally sharp stomach pain when bend over at the waist. I am 46 years old, not overweight and in very good physical condition. Had an upper GI last year, h. pylori is neg. I am off all meds except Synthroid which I have taken for 12 yrs. At times I am completely pain free--this seems to flare up.
