What Causes Right Abdominal Pain When Sitting Or Pushed On Left Side?

I have been having right side abdominal pain all day that been getting worse. it seems to be the worst when I push to the left of my hip bone (my left looking down) and up a little bit it also is in my back in the same area. Now what concerning me most is when i sit down the pain gets worse.

Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

Even though it needs a clinical examination of your abdomen to arrive at a tentative diagnosis, from the history alone of your symptoms, this seems to be a inflammatory condition of any of the the intra abdominal organs and if it is on the right side, appendix and gall bladder top the list. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for a complete blood count,a stool test for ova and cyst, a urine routine and microscopic test, and an ultrasound of the abdomen to rule out such and other related conditions so that appropriate treatment could be planned. Till then, you could go for an anti spasmodic along with a proton pump inhibitor drug for a symptomatic relief.


I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
