Hi.
Thanks for your query and elucidate history.
I can think of psoas abscess , the muscle at the back area of abdomen at a point you have explained with the pain in the right leg.
Please go for a CT scan and the diagnosis will be clear including that for the appendicitis , inflamed lymph nodes and so.
Need a treatment according to the reports one gets.
