What Causes Pain In Upper Right Abdomen?
I have had colitis for over ten years. For the past year I have had dull pain in my upper right abdomen area that shoots down and to my right side. For the past three weeks it has been intense and hurts more in a seated position. I am not having a flare up, had a HIDA scan and was normal, an many blood tests and nothing but the pain has stayed in the same area and is affecting my daily routine and still no answers

Since HIDA scan is normal and you are a known case of colitis, go for colonoscopy.
In rare cases there can be retrocecal appendicitis or kidney infection or stones in the kidney or ureter on the same side causing such problems.
Infections
Check out for any spinal problems in the thoracic region
