Right-sided bodily pain may result from external trauma or intense physical activity, leading to muscle strain or fractures of the scapula or ribs. However, it may also be caused by appendicitis, whose primary symptoms include nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and right lower abdominal pain. Additionally, hepatobiliary disorders—such as gallbladder polyps or gallstones—can also cause right-sided pain.
