How Can Severe Pain On The Right Side Of The Abdomen Indicate?

I m experiencing pretty intense pain on right side of abdomen just below ribs and close to umbilical. Pain intensifies when I try to straighten (stand, stretch out on bed) pain is lessened by curling knees to chest.. Gall bladder & appendix both removed 5 years ago

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It could be a renal colic due to some minor stones (calculi) anywhere in your urinary tract. We have to rule out other causes before making a diagnosis. Get an ultrasound scan done to look for any stones and to rule out other causes. As of now you can take antispasmodics like Cyclopam and drink plenty of water.

Wishing you good health.

Thanks.
