Should I be concerned about a sharp pain in my lower right side while riding a roller coaster?

Since your roller coaster ride was just yesterday, you shouldn't be too concerned. Wait one or two weeks before making a Dr's appointment.

If you got pain just because of riding a roller coaster then need not to worry as acute pain are not always dangerous. May be the pain is just a muscle pain and if that bothers you during work then you just take pain killer.But if it does not relieved within 2-days then you have go to the doctor immediately.

Its most likely to be a muscle catch due to the ride. Analgesics should suffice. If it persists you may need to get yourself checked by a doc.

Pains that occur on a one-time basis only are not necessarily cause for concern. It may have been caused by over-stretching a muscle group and may resolve on its own without medical treatment.

What position were you in while riding the roller coaster. If you were sitting in a position which caused impingement on any particular body part, this would be good cause.
