Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
It is highly probable that you have UTI , stone in the right ureter or kidney. Another possible reason can be a problem with the right Fallopian tube, ovary, right sided colon and as a rare possibility of a stump appendicitis.
Ultrasonography diagnoses most of these and confirmed by CT scan.
Treatment obviously is as per diagnosis ...
