Abdominal pain: Abdominal pain is different for everyone. Some have feelings of sharp pain while others experience dull pains. It may be located in the lower abdomen, sides or upper. Each presentation is a clue that helps doctors decide what to do for you and your pain. Pay attention to the feelings and their locations to help explain it better when visiting your doctor.
