What Causes Upper Right Back Pain?

Hi I have been experiencing upper right back pain for 4 weeks now and have lost over a stone in 2 months. Im really worried. I have slightly looser stools . What could the cause be? I dont know if it could be relevant but i had a pilonidal abcess incision and drainage 4 weeks ago under general anasthetic. I took a course of 500mg Flucloxacillin afterwards.

Any pain associated with unexplained weight loss warrants imaging, including x-rays followed by MRI, to rule out a mass. The pilonidal cyst drainage does not sound relevant, other than the fact that excessive diarrhea from the antibiotics could be a cause of weight loss also.
