Hi Dr. I ve been having rather sharp pains mid-abdomen, right side, into my right upper hip/pelvis. Started about 5-6 hours ago, and is getting sharper/stronger pain. Sharp (wincing) pain comes for a while then subsides. I just thought it s indigestion from the holiday days, or the waistband way too tight on the jeans. But, better to check in now that I read about more serious possibilities. Cindy
