General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Your history is very classical ::
Pain in right side of the abdomen with back and increase in pain with sitting-up position.
This usually occurs in cases of a typical condition where the muscle called ilio-psoas gets affected and has an abscess in it.
YThe best way to get a diagnosis is a classical physical sign that a Surgeon can elicit easily. Get the diagnosis confirmed by CT scan of the whole abdomen and
the lumbo-thoracic spine to see if there is an original problem inthe spine which has given rise to this sort of a problem.
The treatment will necessarily depend upon the findings.
If the psoas abscess is present , you will need an operation to clear the pus , get this subjected to examination.
Tuberculosis is one of the commonest reason.
