Suggest Cure For An Intense Stomach Pain

I have been having intense stomach pain that comes and goes for almost 12 hours now. It started in the middle of the night and it was so bad I couldn't get up or move until it stopped a few minutes later. I made it to the bathroom and had diarrhea that was green and thought that the problem would go away once that happened but it has not. I don't feel like vomiting or eating, and when I try to move too much I double over in pain. The pain is right around my bellybutton and it's sharp and burns. Sometimes it's more intense and last longer and other times it's short and goes away quickly. I don't want to go to emergency if it's just cramps but I don't want to ignore if my appendix could be about to burst. Please help me!

Hello!

Thank you for the query.

This can be appendicitis indeed. For sure such pain can not be ignored and ER visit is necessary. It may be also a partial bowels obstruction, bowels ischemia, stomach perforation.
All this diseases needs to be ruled out. Abdominal ultrasound, abdominal X-ray, blood work, urine analysis should be done at first.
Some surgical help might be necessary.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
