Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history about your husband having typical pain on right side of abdomen particularly increased sensitivity to touch, rubbing of shirt.
This is albeit a short and specific query.
Such a thing can occur due to the increased sensitivity of the sensory nerves supplying this particular area.
And this can occur in the following conditions:
Shingles or Herpes Zoster.
Nerve root compression.
Hence I would advise you the following:
Clinical evaluation, actual examination.
If required MRI of the thoraco- lumbar region.
Examination neurological.
Treatment as per the findings.
I find this answer helpful
