Lake Jackson is a larger Brazoria County city south of Angleton, with an active mix of neighborhoods, parks, and community destinations such as Sea Center Texas. A deep ache under the ribs or along one side of the back may seem manageable at first. If it becomes sharper, starts coming in waves, or is joined by nausea, fever, or changes in urination, the situation has changed.
The location of the pain gives us a clue, but it does not give you a diagnosis. Flank pain can have several causes that are difficult to separate at home. At Angleton ER, the physician can examine what is happening and determine whether urine testing, lab work, imaging, fluids, medication, or other care is medically appropriate.
If symptoms are life-threatening or it is not safe to drive, call 911.
