Hi,
I understand your concern.
The sudden pain you started to feel in your right side of your waistline could be due to possible :
- colitis (if you are having bloating too)
- kidney stones (that might have moved on the urinary pathways)
- appendicitis
In all the cases, immediate investigations are required to determine the right diagnosis. So, you should go to urgent care in order to take immediate treatment.
Wish fast recovery.
