Pain in lower right abdomen shooting down inner thigh

Last night my wife started having pain in her lower right abdomen that shoots down her inner thigh all the way to her knee. She says if feels like a bad menstrual cramp, but it shoots all the way down to her knee. It kept her up all night, intermittently waking her up. Her mother has a history of cysts.

This can be cyst in her right ovary. An office visit with her doctor will help resolve it.

Your wife has obturator nerve irritation (Howship- Romberg sign), quite likely due to an enlarged right ovary. See your doc.

Sounds like a ruptured ovarian cyst. Also consider early pregnancy problems, infection, intestinal or urinary problems, especially if pain persists.
Unfortunately, women are often told that some people just have bad cramps. There is a difference between a menstrual cramp (uncomfortable) and pain. Pain is the signal in the body that something isn't right. I suggest that you call your OB/GYN pronto to figure out the source of the pain.
