Unable To Diagnose Intermittent Right Sided Abdominal Pain For Months Which Is Worse When Bladder Is Full

I have had intermittent right sided abdominal pain for around 6 months but not particularly worried as it comes and goes, rarely lasting for more than a few hours. This weekend the pain has lasted much longer and I am wondering what it might be. It is in a very specific place and is worse to the touch. It also seems worse when I have a full bladder.
I am a 52 year old woman and my only other symptom is a number of lumps in my neck, the longest of which has been there for a year. Over the last 6 months these have increased to at least 5 lumps that I can identify. I have been to my GP twice but she does not seem concerned as all blood tests seem normal.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi. This is very specific but an atypical presentation. Let us consider a diagnosis of something in abdomen which is pressed upon by a full bladder that too on right side in a specific place. I would consider this lump which can be a mass from lymph nodes or ovaries or the area of ileocaecal junction with an appendix. I would do a thorough clinical examination and may be per-vaginal palpation to see the lump. I would also advise to go for sonography per-abdomen and pervaginal. May be a CT scan with a marking on that specific point. I would do FNAC of the lumps in neck too.
