What Causes Lower Right Abdominal Pain?
I've been having lower right abdominal pain and am not sure what the problem is. It has been going on for about 2 days and when I first experienced it, it was sudden and sharp. Now it is mostly a dull, constant pain that gets worse when I move. I'm trying to determine if i should see a doctor, but I would rather not see a doctor if I am only going to be told that there is nothing they can do.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Hi.
The symptoms you have noted are classical of appendicitis.
Better too get a clinical examination by a Surgeon and investigations of blood, urine and stool and ultrasonography to prove or find another possible reason.
Ct scan i needed only if the diagnosis is not clear.
And remember why should a Surgeon say- that nothing can be done.
Go for surgery if appendicitis.
