What causes persistent pain in lower right abdomen?
Patient: I had a tremendous pain in my lower right abdomen like something inside dropped. I went to the ER and through cscan or imaging they ruled out appendicitis and kidney stones. Nothing abnormal showed up in the scan or the blood work. They did specify I had a hiatal hernia. The pain is still there and feels as if somthing moves when I bend a certain way, it also hurts to lay flat. I am 53 5 ft. 5 female weight around 132. The only things I have had done is a colonoscopy in January and 7 years ago a ablation (not sure of the spelling). What could be causing the pain to continue. Would the scan have showed a drop in the cervix etc? Doctor: Hello,  It could be a renal stone probably.  As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.   If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.   An ultrasound scan is required for further assessment.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain,  General & Family Physician
