What Causes Sharp Pain In The Lower Abdomen?
I experience a sharp pain in my liver area from time to time. It comes and then goes quickly. the stings of pain do not last very long but can come several times back to back. it is a sharp feeling so it can be uncomfortable. I am hoping that these could be gas pains. I have had my gall bladder removed several years ago. perhaps that could also have something to do with it?

Hi welcome to the health care magic
You are having pain in liver area, it can be from gas or chronic indigestion induced pain
But as pain is sharp and in right hypochondrium i would suggest you to investigate with USG abdomen to rule out fatty liver, any residual stone in biliary tract, kidney stone causing referred pain etc like cause
If specific cause found than treated accordingly
Otherwise for indigestion you can prescribed pantoprazole and simethicone containing syrup like medication
Consume more fruits and vegetables
Avoid excess spicy foods and fatty meals for few days
Take care
Hope your concern solved
Consult physician for examination
