sharp stab-like localised pain in right lower abdomen

I have sharp stab-like pain in the lower right abdomen since yesterday morning. The pain is not constant, rather appears quickly and sharply (some times its so bad that I 'jump' with the surprise and pain) and then disappears. Sometimes it lasts longer and then subsides. It is better today then yesterday.
Today I have pain in the middle (towrads the top) of my back that is constant and not very severe (similar to a muscle ache) - I am not sure if the two pains are related (?)
-I wonder what the pain in lower right could be? (I am 2 weeks after last period day [which lasts 7 days] and have a little spotting when ovulating - I am not sure if this is relevant?)
-And what is the back pain from and are they related? (I have recently recovered from sinuses infection and chest infection)
Thanks, M.

I cannot remember what it is called but a few years ago my mother had the same problem. And when the doctors found what ever it was, they went in and did some surgery and I think possibly removed something.
I strongly recommend that you go and get it looked at. When my mother had those pains, the doctors told her if she didn't go in sooner she may have died.

Gosh... Can you please find out for me what it was?
Did she have the back pain as well?

It was her Gall Bladder. And yes it caused back pains, more of near the top though, like near the shoulder blades. She had it removed.
I suggest you have a doctor look at it.

I do not think its the Gall bladder as the pain is in the very low right side side of the abdomen (more around the ovary).
The pain in my back is better today and has gone down to the middle of my back.
Anyone any ideas????

about 4 months ago i had to same problems with exception of the back pain. i saw my family doctor and was told i had follicular cysts (which was seen by transvaginal ultrasound) which caused mittelschmerz (which is abdominal pain during ovulation) in my case was the follicular cysts bursting away from my ovaries causing knife sharp pain in my lower abdomen not sure if its same case for u but something to look into
