General Surgeon,  's  Response
HI.
Thanks for your query.
The cramp (not pain) from the right lower abdomen to the right scrotum can be due to the following reasons:
Varicocele of the right scrotum can give such cramps, urine and ultrasound of the abdomen will be normal as in your case is. USG and color doppler of he scrotum and a clinical examination should have been done as this is more of a clinical diagnosis.

Another reason can be a hernia stretching the muscles and / or the nerves. This too is a clinical diagnosis on physical examination.

So please consult a General Surgeon or Urologist , get a physical examination done. IF muscular problem, an anti-inflammatory medicines and bed rest will help.
IF there is hernia or varicocele, get operated to get he results.
