What Causes Sharp Pain In Lower Right Abdomen?

I have a sharp pain in my lower right abdomen. It comes & goes & has been hurting for about 2 weeks. My pain level is about a 4, but it seems to be increasing. I must also mention that I have had a kidney transplant & that side is where they placed my kidney; however, the kidney is placed to the left of my pain on my right side. Should I worry?
