Exam needed: Persistent abdominal discomfort,especially with associated tenderness warrants an evaluation by a physician. Depending on the location of the symptoms,possibilities include appendicitis,gall bladder inflammation,pancreatitis,diverticulitis,peptic ulcer,etc. I recommend a visit to the hospital emergency room tonight for prompt diagnosis,testing and any needed treatment.
