3. Stabbing Pain

While some people will feel a throbbing pain, others will experience a sharper pain. Some people might feel to begin with as though they have pulled a muscle in the abdomen area, only for the sensation to worsen considerably. A common complaint is that the pain feels as though a knife is being used.

Many patients describe the pain as a stabbing sensation. Some explain that it feels as though the knife is being pushed in further or even twisted in the patient’s abdomen. It is the kind of pain that tells people that they have a serious problem, and that they should get assistance as soon as possible.
