abdominal pain... what to do?
Hi everyone.
Okay, here is the reader's digest version of my problem: I have low abdominal pain. It's constant, sometimes it gets worse especially when I go to lay down on my side or stomach. Now I have upper abdominal pain, too, and it seems to happen when I eat meat or when I drink ANYTHING.
My PCP said it was a bladder infection, although I couldn't give him a urine sample so he can't be 100% sure. Have been to the ER twice(this all started last Sunday). I don't have a fever(although I do feel warm), a little bit of nausea, and the pain. OH the pain.
B/c of my moronic insurance, I wasn't able to get the antibiotic in liquid form. Only in HORSE PILL SIZE. So I have to crush/crack them. It tastes horrible, but applesauce seems to do the trick. And splenda. Lots and lots of splenda.
So what do I do? Wait until tomorrow to call my PCP back? Call my surgeon? I do not want to go back to the ER again. DO NOT. My poor arms are so full of holes right now(matches my head, but you know, whatever).
HELP PLEASE!
