Pain in right side of lower abdomen

I have spent a lot of time and money lately seeing doctors and I haven't been given any clear results. I have had kidney stones, the tubing in my bladder redone and my gallbladder removed. I am a 22 year old female suffering with lower right quadrant pain in my abdomen. The area feels swollen and it is extremely tender to the touch. I have seen a gynecologist, a surgeon, and a family doctor and I have had a urinalysis, blood work, a CT scan and most recently an ultrasound. This pain has been persistent for over two weeks but it is still confusing these doctors. I have been reading as much as I can find and was recently told by a radiologist to suggest a CT scan with contrast to look at my appendix. Has anyone with a similar history experienced this before and found a diagnosis?

That is an educated guess but I haven't had the CT scan with contrast done yet.
