Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

Yes ! With your history of pain (severe) for the last one week, I would suggest you to visit the ER of the nearest hospital soon so as to get yourself examined and investigated for an appropriate treatment, and to prevent any complication of not being treated in time.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
