Could Right Abdominal And Back Pain Be Due To Appendix?
My right abdomen has been hurting for about a week and a half. It doesn't hurt when I press on it and release it, but it does hurt when I press down. My lower right back also hurts and sometimes my side. I am due for my period on the 1st of October. The pain seems to be relieved by passing gas although it's only temporary. Could this be my appendix? Cyst? Muscle strain? Thank you.

Hello,
there are some important thing which will need further details. as where the pain started and is it continuous with same intensity or with lows and highs with intermittently severe. Right abdominal pain may be due to gall bladder stones which is more common in females which may also involve back as well as pancreatic pain also involves back but that pain is unbearable. u should get an Ultrasound abdomen and pelvis done which will help in further exploration of cause with routine blood counts, liver function and urine examination.
