Intra-abdominal pain is also known as stomach pain, stomachache, bellyache and abdominal cramps. Abdominal pain can be from abdominal wall or intra-abdominal organs. Intra-abdominal pain is not an abdominal wall pain. The abdomen is the section of body between chest and pelvis. Intensity of intra-abdominal pain is mild to severe and duration can be short (acute) or long (chronic). Some intra-abdominal pain may be present for days, weeks or months.
The average well is up to 8,000 feet deep. The depth of drinking water aquifers is about 1,000 feet. The problems typically stem from poor cement well casings that leak natural gas as well as fracking fluid into water wells.
While fracking has created jobs and contributed to record-low natural gas prices, it comes with another kind of potential cost: risks to our environment and health that some say are far too high. The fracking process begins with a bore hole drilled some 6,000 feet below ground, cutting through many geological layers and aquifers, which tend to be no more than a few hundred feet below the surface. The shaft is then lined with steel and cement casing.
