Hello Jessie and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, let me advise you, that such a sharp pain as you describe, must have a cause. To find out the cause for it, one has to do an ultrasound scan of the abdomen.
According to the report, the doctor will advise you regarding further treatment.
Such pains are not normally felt during dialysis. You may send a copy of the scan to me,for an expert opinion.
