Pins And Needles In Lower Right Abdomen, Irritating. What Could Be This?

Hi, I am a 33 year old female with absolutely no significant medical history. I am not on medication, only surgeries have been orthopedic (knee). I just recently moved to the Denver area and have not been feeling 100% due to altitude and low moisture. I have been menstruating since 5/1, with painful cramps etc. Last night I started having a very strange pins and needles feeling a localized area in my lower right abdomen. Very small area. It woke me several times, and I thought my pajamas were irritating me --- it feels very superficial. It has been happening all day though- unrelated to clothing. Mostly when I move or stretch. I am just concerned because this is unlike anything I've ever felt before.

Hi welcome to Health care magic forum.
Thanks for calling H.C.M.Forum.
You are 33 years, female, You have shifted to DENVER area which is a place of high moisture. You had pain in right lower abdomen, and they are limited and superficial.
Most probably it looks like APPENDICITIS, i advise you to immediately consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.Other possibilities are urinary tract infection, stone in the urinary tract, or a subcutaneous boil, in that area. You may need to have M.R.I, besides other routine tests for confirmation.
Appendicitis requires surgery, immediately, boil needs incision after some time if not subsided by medicines, others can be cured with medical treatment only.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
Best regards.
