A member asked:

Minor spot of pain that comes and goes , it started about 2 hours ago the pain. is about 4 inches below my waist and 2 or 3 inches above my upper leg what should i do

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Abdominal pain: This can be acute appendicitis. I would see your doctor and get A CBC. If white count elevated, you may need to see a surgeon if the pain is in the right lower quadrant.
