Lower right abdominal pain

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.

I posted some of this information before but after another night of this there were things I had left out. I feel your pain as I too have been going thru this for over 3 years now. I have several ct scans with contrast, x rays, ultra sound with contrast, blood test, colonoscopy and told nothing showed up that should be causing this horrible pain. Since Nov 2022 I have had 3 ct scans and this is what the results were. Mild pericolonic stranding about the distal ascending colon near the hepatic flexure, similar in appearance to the exam on 12/26/2023 and 11/23/2022.Small umbilical hernia. I had colitis 3 times last year and given antibiotics which did not stop the pain. Right-sided diverticulitis is also a consideration. Normal appendix Something has to be causing the pain I take Gabapentin 1200mg day with heating pad and lidocaine patch gives very little relief. I don't know of anything that triggers it
