I struggle off and on with lower right abdominal pain. Today it started about 5 hours ago with an occasional cramping/stabbing pain in my lower right abdomen. Throughout the evening, the frequency and intensity of the pain has increased. Honestly the frequency is near constant, but about 3-4 in intensity (10 being the worst).

It started in my lower belly, not in the middle. No nausea, throwing up, diarrhea, or constipation. Appetite is a little off but I’ve eaten small things throughout the day. I haven’t taken my temperature but I don’t feel like I have a fever. Maybe slight rebound tenderness, hurts a little to push on but neither is excruciating. I’ve tried the heel drop and it hurts slightly after a second.

I’m undecided about getting checked out. This pain is a bit more intense than in the past (more frequent, stabbing). I don’t want to spend money and hours in the ER to be told it’s my IBS. If my symptoms change/get worse, I will.

Has anyone else experienced symptoms like this? How did things turn out for you?

I have a 10 cm HH, and my doctor has recommended surgical repair. I am considering surgery. What should I expect if I do go through with it? Be honest - the good, bad, and ugly. Stuff you wish you knew beforehand that no one told you about. Thanks! 🙂

So I’m almost through the second season. I feel like she adds very little to the story. Thus far, I just feel her character is whiny. Does she improve as the show goes on?
