Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
While the commonest cause of pain in the right side can be bending over and having a muscle spasm, it needs to be followed up and confirmed. Take rest for a few days and apply a muscle relaxant ointment to the area. If the pain reduces then it is more likely to be a pulled muscle. If the pain is still present, consult a doctor and get an ultrasound scan to check for any kidney stones.
