Upper right sided pain abdomen is usually caused by problems in gall bladder or liver or Rt lower lung or chest wall. I would suggest an XRay chest to rule out any lung or pleural lesions and also an Ultrasound abdomen to rule out gall bladder stones or infection. Details about the pain would be helpful to guide the management. Medication should not be commenced till cause of pain is known, especially when you would be on medication for kidney stones and sciatica.
