Internal Medicine Specialist, Dr. Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu's Response

Hello,

Many causes of pain in the right lower abdomen may be due to appendicitis or spondylosis or cholecystitis or a back muscle spasm or renal caliculi etc.

Please get one ultrasound abdomen and X-ray of the lumbar spine. Please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly to the above report.

I think I answered your question if you have more questions feel free to ask.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
