Hi, I m female, 51, never been pregnant and not pregnant now. I have a dull, achy feeling in my lower right stomach which I have had for a very long time, that comes and goes, but now it s more persistent and feels kind of inflamed. I also have pain in my sciatic nerve on the right side and pain in my right knee.

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
The possible cause of pain in the right lower abdomen with right knee and right sciatic nerve area is definitely due to a prolapsed intervertebral disc.
Get an MRI to see for the discs and an ultrasonography to rule out other possible causes of lower abdominal pain at your age of 51 without the history of any pregnancy like:
Appendicitis, ovarian Cyst , tumor, cancer or so.
Cancer is thought about due to your age and pain related to the sciatic nerve which can be due to secondaries in the spine causing compression of the cord ,
