Hello, so I have been experiencing a lower right abdominal pain for months now. I am a 18y/o F and I have been to the ER the first day I felt the pain thinking it could be an appendicitis but they said they found nothing , I then followed up with my general practitioner who couldn't figure it out and then sent me to my OB who checked and found nothing abnormal and then sent me to a gastroenterologist who also did not seem to have any answers for me. I have been experiencing this pain for over 6 months now and no one seems to have an answer for me so I wanted to reach out on here and maybe someone has an idea. The pain feels like a runners cramp and is exaggerated when I walk for a long period of time and it gets progressively worse when any more rigor is added to the routine such as working out or jogging. It is rather low in my side and tends to only stay on the right side. Thank you!!

I get similar pain in my lower right side after certain activities that involve my abdominal muscles. I went through all the tests that you have.....trans-vaginal ultrasound, colonoscopy, blood work for appendicitis, etc. Nothing showed up so my pcp sent me to a surgeon to see if he could find a hernia. He ordered a CT scan and it came back with the diagnosis of right-sided iliopsoas bursitis. This was back in 2019 and although I am still living with the pain when I do more work/exercise that involves my abdominal muscles, I can deal with the side effects by taking a pain reliever and resting with a heating pad on the area of the pain. There are other solutions to the pain that were offered to me, but, I am in my 70's and decided to opt out of them. Have you been examined for an inguinal hernia? Have you had a CT scan? Perhaps you might ask for that. I hope you find a diagnosis and then an answer for the relief of your pain. Don't give up looking.
It is good that you are in this forum and I hope find a doctor who can accurately diagnose your problem. In the meantime, please Google by each symptoms you have. Print or note what you find and discuss with your physician. Also, go to YouTube. There are many video. Watch them and try to relate them to your problem. Educate yourself because you know your body more than anyone else. Good luck.

@jaydencross - It sounds like chronic appendicitis to me. Have you had an abdominal ultrasound! Here’s something I read:
