Gallbladder ?: Female with intermittent "stabbing abdominal pain" that starts "suddenly at night" might have gallbladder dysfunction issues. A Gastroenterogist should be consulted. If the pain becomes constant, associated with vomiting, fever, or progressively increasing intensity, then an urgent care visit is in order to rule out an acute gallbladder infection, which can be serious.
