Hello,
The pain in this region could be related to irritable bowel syndrome or urinary tract infection. I recommend performing a stool bacterial culture and taking Buscopan for the pain. A viral infection can not be excluded either, considering the low white blood cell count.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
