Why Am I Having Sharp Pains Under My Stomach?

I've been having sharp pains under my stomach for about a week and a half. & when I lay down or sit it hurts even more. I looked up the pains I'm having and it says they are contractions but they go away after a couple hours. I just can't take the pain no more and wondering if I should go to the hospital or not

General Surgeon,  's  Response
HI. This is already 10 days or so and this type of shifting pains are always indication of an inflammatory process going on inside the abdomen. You should consult a Surgeon at the earliest. Undergo ultrasonography and other investigations as advised by your Surgeon.
This may be Meckel's Diverticulitis causing this type of shifting pains. This is one of the possibilities.
