Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had a lower right sharp abdominal pain on and off for about a week. When it hurts, it hurts worse when I take a breathe of air, I have to take very small breathes as long ones cause a lot of pain. Is this just maybe a pulled muscle or something I should get checked out when I have time?
Hello! Welcome to HCM. This can be muscular pain or stone in urinary tract or gall-bladder or appendicular pain.. Did you have any trauma there or is there any urinary complaint/fever? Clinical examination is important. Many such patients come to my clinic to whom I advise ultrasound abdomen & pelvis, X-ray KUB, urine & stool routine, renal function tests, CBC. Treatment is done accordingly. Hope this helps. Thanks. Regards.
