sharp pain lower right abdomen

This has now happened twice and I am wondering if it is the ligament pains that everyone talks about.  Twice now when I have been sleeping I have gotten a horrible quick intense sharp pain...almost like someone is stabbing me.  It's in my lower right abdomen area.  To the point where I wake up screaming.  Happened last night and scared DH to death.  I am wondeting is this is ligament pain??  Both times it has been on the right.  I do have major back / joint pains on my right side where many many areas spasm....could be that as well.  I have my doc appointment next week and I will bring up.

Re: sharp pain lower right abdomen

  • It sounds like RLP to me.  Mine is usually on my lower right abdomen as well.  It hasn't been bad enough to make me scream though.

    However, I got a charlie horse in my right calf last night that had me on the verge of screaming!

  • RLP all the way...DH had to call our midwife at midnight one night because it had me screaming I was in so much pain.  Had to go to L&D and the ER to make sure it wasn't anything else, but it was just RLP.  Enjoy!  (Ice and heat are amazing).

  • I had a bout with round ligament pain a couple of weeks ago and that was so not fun! I could barely stand up! Mine was on my lower right side, too! How strange that it's so common to have it there! I wonder why?

    However, waking up with the calf cramps was probably worse!

  • I've been having those pains too (right side as well) and assumed it was RLP. Sounds like a common spot to have them!
