A 27-year-old female, G4 P3013, presented to our ED with the chief complaint of right lower quadrant pain. Two weeks ago, she experienced a gradual onset of sharp, constant right lower quadrant pain with intermittent radiation to the right flank. Her pain was exacerbated by movement and associated with decreased appetite and nausea. She was examined at a different institution and was sent home after intravenous pain medication and negative blood results. Her symptoms persisted, prompting her to come to our ED at which time she was discharged home with the diagnosis of musculoskeletal pain.
