Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Since all your investigations of USG, CT scan and pap are normal , the probable reasons for your pain in abdomen particularly in right side of abdomen are as follows:
Colitis
IBS-Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
Prolapsed disc at thoracic vertebrae causing referred pain.

You do not have any other symptoms:
Get all the blood, urine and stool tests done.
If all the investigations including MRI of the thoracic spine are normal, you can get treated on the basis of IBS- Irritable Bowel Syndrome as follows:
Treatment:
''STRESS'' = stress is the most important cause of IBS. Please remember and you must have observed that when you do not have stress your problem with IBS is reduced
Change of lifestyle.
I think 'may be' you are not coping with something.
Vacation outside of your area, mobiles phones to be off.
You must have noticed already that these changes help a lot.
Try to avoid anything which you are / have to do against your will and wish. Getr into the hobbies which make you forget the world around you. Life comes only once, boss.

If the change of routine helps, the necessity of medicines is drastically reduced to almost nil.
Medicines ::
You need to have a prescription of a Doctor, please discuss this with a Gastroenterologist to get a prescription. I would like to know which medicines have you taken in the past and in which dosage
Vit A and Vit D in therapeutic doses,
Multiviatamins ,
probiotics,
anxiolytics help a lot.
I find this answer helpful
