Unfortunately the details that you have provided are not adequate to make a diagnosis. You have not mentioned your age and gender, both of which affect the probable causes. Speaking simply by the location, pain in right lower abdomen could be caused by acute appendicitis (more common in females but can also occur in males), some problem in the right ovary (of a female) or due to constipation (in both males and females). Please visit a doctor, preferrably a surgeon and get it examined. Please do not delay as acute appendicitis can be a serious issue.
