What Causes Right Sided Abdominal Pain?
I have been having lower right abdominal pain the past two days. It is the worst at night when I lay down. Then it tends to lessen in pain. This has happened off and on over the last few year and it gets to the point that I almost go in to the hospital thinking I have an appendicitis. Then I lay with my feet up and apply ice and the pain alleviates. Is this something I need to have seen or do I just keep doing what I am doing?

welcome to Health care magic.
1.Similae symptoms can be seen in the recurrent kidney stones / andexal cysts / mass lesions.
2.I n this case i would ask my patient to get an ultrasound abdomen done to rule out all the above causes.
3.After that there can be bowel pathology like diverticulosis / diverticulitis.
4.So get an appointment with your doctor as soon as you can, and get an ultrasound abdomen pelvis and if needed CT.
5.Try to avoid junk food / spicy food and alcohol for at least 1 month and see if you find helpful.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
