Does Severe Abdominal Pain Require A Medical Consultation?
Question: I am having pain in my right upper abdomen which begins with throbbing which intensifies, then I have a quick stabbing pain followed by the intense throbbing pain which gradually lessens and then the cycle begins all over again. Should I be worried enough to go to the ER?
I guess I should have let you know I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Types 1, 2, and 3. I am not certain if this will help you in answering my initial question.
How long does it, generally, take to have a question answered anyway?

Thank you for the reply, however, the pain finally disappeared after several more hours. Now I am not having the pain at all. I believe it ended up having something to do with constipation or needing to have a bowel movement.
I appreciate your answer. If the pain returns then I will go to the ER immediately. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
