I have had right flank pain for over a year now. I have ruled out kidneys and ovaries, but the pain is pretty much consistent and comes like contractions. I use a heating pad just to ease the pain, not really easing just more manageable at times. What other areas should i consider looking for relief and answers to this pain?

Flank pain could be due chronic pancreatitis, chronic cholecystitis, inflammatory bowel disease.Get a CT scan abdomen which will diagnose most organ pathology. Hope I have answered your query.
