excruciating pain in my stomach on the right
Hi my name is Ciara I'm 21 and for about the past 6-8 months every one day out of the months I experience excruciating pain in my stomach on the right side right by my ribs and hurts so bad my back aches at the same time it makes it impossible to lay down sleep at all I'm not sure what I should do. I do however have back problems already and probably eat a lot of spicy food what can be causing this and should I seek a doctor soon

even based on what you have shared, an actual MD couldn't make a diagnosis. they have to run blood tests, take scans or erays if blood tests don't give them a clue. The more info you share with them the better to helping on a whole with diagnosis.
It sounds like you mentioned having this pain, just one day of each time always in the same place. With name Ciara, that sounds like a female name. So if female, the immediate thing I connect a most logical possibiility of problem area to is with something else that is monthly for a female, her cycle. So there's a chance if its regular like clock work to occur monthly whether it lasts one day or several days that the greater likelihood is of it being related to something having to do with the female reproductive system.
Without tests, theres no way to know, the possibilities are many in just this one little area, it could be the pain of the release of the egg monthly, it could be fibroids attached to uterus that are affected by period cramps or anything else that might contact muscles in that area, like really hard orgasms, I've felt mine then with both. Or perhaps its a condition called endometriosis where the uterine lining grows outside the uterus. I knew someone with this condition, a freind at work. It didn't begin to occur until she reached around your age. However the excruciating pain would last more than one day. More painful than period cramps I've heard.
But then again, it could just be a coincidence that so far, your pain has come once a month at the same time and it has nothing to do with your cycle.
So in the end, though you can guess all you want and so could we, the only way to a diagnosis and then treatment would be to see a Dr.

For something going on for this period of time I think it would be time to consult a doctor. I would suggest you consider seeing your Gynecologist if the pain if the pain you are feeling is during the period of time between the 7th and 21st day of your menstrual cycle.
The reason for my suggestion is although the pain is well above where your ovaries should be. The fact that this happens once a month leads me to believe something this regular may be tied to your ovulation. Pain can radiate to another part of the body even though the origin is someplace else.
If you do not need a referral from your family doctor to see your GYN I would suggest you go straight to the specialist doctor and see your GYN. IF it is not your ovary the GYN is also more qualified to diagnose and treat problems within the area you are feeling pain then a family practice doctor is.

i think you should see a doctor. it sounds serious enough to warrant a visit yes.
you COULD try taking some acetaminophen and seeing if thats helps since its an anti-inflammatory and if things are inflamed in there then MAYBE that might ease it a little but it sounds serious and you should def see a doctor yes.
