Could Persistent, Dull Pain In Lower Abdomen By Due To Diagnosed MCTD?

I've been diagnosed with MCTD. I've had a persistent, dull pain on the lower right abdomen for several months. All tests for infections and/or cysts are negative. Currently being tested for gallstones as the culprit. Could this be caused by the MCTD medicine I take?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi. MTDC and its medicines can cause this type of pain, yet it is important to locate the cause.
I hope you have undergone a CT / MRI scan of the area. A good clinical examination is also of utmost importance as the information one gets may not be seen in any of the tests.
Please be examined by a Gastro-Surgeon, telling his your history of disease and treatments so far.
