What Causes Pain In The Right Side Of The Abdomen?
This morning I notice a mild pain in my abdominal area on the right side between my navel and my breast. At first is felt like a muscle pull. but it has persisted throughout today and perhaps become more intense, especially when I move suddenly and when I press on the area it is quite painful. I m 70 years old and still have my appendix. Any thoughts?

Hello,
The symptoms can be related to appendicitis which is an inflammation of the appendix. I suggest doing an abdominal ultrasound for further evaluation. For the pain, you can use pain killers such as Acetaminophen.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
