Is 800 Mg Advil Dosage The Right Medicine For Sharp Shooting Pain In The Abdomen?

I have a sharp shooting pain in my abdomin right next to my right hip and a little down towards the groin area. It hurts to bend over, sit, walk and cough. I get some relief when lying down. I don t have a fever and my appetite is ok so far so I don t think appendex. It started Friday morning and at first I thought it was maybe my back radiating pain to the front but I have been taking 800 mg of advil every 4 hours but the pain doesn t ebb at all. I have not been lifting anything heavy so I don t think it is a hernia. Could it just be trapped gas or do I need to go to my doctors Monday if I can get in?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi dear, I have gone through your case and I can understand your concern. Thank you for asking on HealthcareMagic.com, providing better healthcare for you. I guess it may be due to urinary tract infection or kidney stones, so it would be better to have and abdominal ultrasound & urinalysis done to set the diagnosis. For the pain I would prescribe Buscopan 10mg two tablets 4 times a day. Increase fluids; drink at least one large glass of water every hour while you are awake. Drink cranberry juice to help fight and prevent urinary tract infections. If you do not like the taste of cranberry juice, mix cranberry juice with another juice like grape juice. Please don't forget to give your valuable feedback and five star rating, to help me assist you in a better way. Click at 'I Find This Answer Helpful too'.
