A member asked:

Hi there, in the past 3 days i have been getting an intermittent full throbbing pain in my right side just under the rib cage. should i go to doc?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pain: Yes you should but you might have to wait to get an appointment. If you can, please go to the nearest Emergency facility and they will take care of you from there, or recommend admission to the hospital if things are not looking so good. Wish you well!
