Checks for RLQ pain: Causes of recurrent abdominal discomfort as described may be identified by first addressing signs/symptoms so as to localize the organ involved: vaginal discharge or bleeding, alteration in periods, pregnancy risk? Fever, nausea, vomiting, altered stool pattern, blood with stool, tenderness, distension? Painful urination, blood in urine? Recent trauma, herniations? Age? Gender? Other risk factors?

Abnormal: Right sided abdominal discomfort which recurs is abnormal. Concerns could include problems with gall bladder, appendix, ovary or its adnexa,hernia or muscular abnormalities.A general surgeon would be qualified to evaluate you and order any appropriate tests in order to make a diagnosis.Apparently it is not a kidney problem.
