Hello.

Thank you for the query.

Upper right abdominal pain does not have to be associated with recent lithotrypsy. It may be caused by gallstones or a stone in the right kidney. Urinary tract infection should be also considered.

Gallstones pain usually radiates to the back and is associated with food intake. If your stool is pale, bile ducts obstruction is possible.

Urinary tract issues give frequent urinating and burning while urinating.

I suggest you to visit a doctor and have urine analysis and abdominal ultrasound done.

Hope this will help.
Regards
