Hi. Tanning can not have a relation with the pain in abdomen on right side. There are various reasons for the pain on the right side of abdomen which increases on pressure. The commonest cases in right lower abdomen being appendicitis, colitis , typhlitis related to start of large bowel. These are easily missed at sonography. Other causes which are detectable on sonography are swelling of gall bladder, liver, kidney. As you already had sonography, it would be better to have Contrast enhanced CT Scan of abdomen. A good Surgeon can have a great clinical judgement too.
