Hi,
In my opinion this kind of severe pain in (R) side of abdomen could be due to Gall bladder disease , or kidney stones and may be due to muscular problems.
I suggest urgent ultrasound whole abdomen and blood counts ASAP. Give her pain killer injections.
Best would be a visit to Emergency of a nearby hospital.
