question: Every once in a while I get a pain, sharp growing in intensity, intermittent, on my lower right abdomen. It can be so intense it causes me to double over. The pain is localized. The pain happens on and off for a while then disappears, usually for a day or two. Then it might occur again a month or so later. It is happening right now to me. I am 58, Female, post menopausal, diabetic.  I am experiencing flatulence at this time also.  Should I seek medical attention?
