What are the reasons for abdominal pain?

There are so many reasons for abdominal pain. The best way to think about your pain is to ask yourself the following questions:
•    Did the pain start abruptly in the past one to two hours, or has it been going on for a few days or even longer?
•    Which part of the abdomen hurts the most, or does it hurt all over?
•    Does the pain come and go, or is it steady?
•    What is the quality of the pain: sharp, dull, burning?
•    Does the pain stay localized, or does it move to the back or up into the chest?
•    Are you having other symptoms, such as fever, chills, diarrhea?
By answering these questions, you can narrow down the possibilities.
