Hi and thanks for the query,.

This pain requires exclusion of an acute abdomen. An abdominal ultrasound and plain film of the abdomen deserve to be done accordingly. A complete blood count in search of raised white blood cells, A C reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rates for acute phase reactants could be necessary to exclude an infectious process. Acute appendicitis, diverticultis and infectious acute abdominal syndromes must carefully be considered.

I suggest you consult a gastroenterologist. Thanks and kind regards.
