Right lower quadrant pain is a classic symptom of appendicitis, often preceded by epigastric or periumbilical pain. This type of localized pain is characteristic due to the inflammation of the appendix causing irritation of the peritoneum. The other options are less specific to appendicitis and might relate to various other abdominal or systemic issues.
