What Is The Reason For Heaviness In The Right Lower Abdomen?
I have been feeling uncomfortable in the right lower part of my abdomen. By uncomfortable I mean like I feel something heavy there. When I sleep if I lay on the side of the uncomfortableness the feeling worsens and my hips hurt.... Is it an appendix thing or are my hips just dislocated from my heavy backpack? No clue!

Hi. Definitely the appendicitis is one of the reason for this feeling of heaviness in the right lower part of your abdomen. This is on of the most common reasons. IF the walking and moving hip joint is normal, the joint problem is ruled out. If this is of long duration with associated symptoms of bloating, nausea, constipation, i would advise to go for further tests like ultrasonography of abdomen. Less is the discomfort more can be a problem.
