Aches and Pains You Should Never Ignore

Severe Abdominal Pain

Do you often find yourself holding your stomach, wishing that significant pain would subside? We have all eaten too much around the holidays and felt the after-dinner pain of gluttony, but severe or persistent abdominal pain should not be taken lightly.

An inflamed appendix, also known as appendicitis, is relatively common. Without immediate treatment, your appendix could rupture, leading to many serious complications. You may also be suffering from stomach ulcers, intestinal issues, a poorly functioning gallbladder, or kidney stones. Whether you have eaten contaminated food or have a urinary tract infection, seek a diagnosis so appropriate treatment can begin.

The burning sensation described next should certainly not be brushed aside.
