My husband has pain in the right side of his abdomen. It's below his ribs and above his hip bone. He has had discomfort for about a week. It started in right side of his back and now is in the right side of his abdomen. Today when he got up out of the chair, it was a shooting, burning pain. The pain level was an 8 when he got out of the chair. Now it is about a 6. He will be seeing a nurse practioner tomorrow. He is a VA patient and the VA is about 3 hours away. We do have an E R about 10 miles away. Please advise, thank you so much. Sincerely,Susan Clark Email YYYY@YYYY
