Hi, many thanks for the query!
This can be muscular or stone related pain..
In case of acute appendicitis, pain is in RIF, usually associated with nausea & vomiting, fever..etc unlikely in your case.
You need to do- USG KUB empty stomach, X-ray KUB, Urine (R & M),
RFT, CBC, Blood Sugar Level.
Till then take antispasmodics, antacids, pain killers, muscle relaxants with
your doctor's opinion.
Drink plenty of water so that at least 2 litres of urine is voided in 24 hrs.
Wish you a good health.
Take care.
