What Causes Stabbing Stomach Pain?
Hi: My daughter is 13 and has been having stomach pain (stabbing) off an on for about a month. She had her appendix out when she was 20 months old and she said the pain is above that area. Today she said she had several spots of stabbing pain. I am worried that it may be her gallbladder.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She may have some liver problems or gastric problems. Chances of gall bladder disease is low at her age. She should go for ultrasound abdomen to search for the cause. Then she should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
