My stomach has been cramping for over 4 days now. If feels like someone is squeezing my stomach. Was laying on the couch today and may daughter brought her backpack and put it on my stomach (she didn't drop it and it's not heavy) and I almost teared up cause it hurt :(
 
I would say dr asap you might think er at this point. If you are having that kind of pain and tenderness you need care.

edited to add which is better bills or health? The longer you wait the worse it can get.
 
Appendicitis?

Regardless of what it *might be........get to a doc pronto.

Ooops the bastard got the edge again......

I think med attention, pronto, PF.
 
If you don't have medical coverage you have two choices here:

1. go to the doctors and be in debt

2. be dead
 
Possibilities....

Excess stomach acid...take Zantac (Just had that a few days ago)

Bowel obstruction

Gall Bladder obstruction, or failure

Appendix Inflamation

Pancreatic Dysfunction

Liver Dysfunction

Heart Attack

All have similar symptoms.


*You didn't mention a temperature, discomfort in walking, localized pain points. You can look on one of those web-md sites, but I would call an advice nurse at the local hospital NOW.
 
No, don't go!

DO like my mother did lay around in pain for three weeks before you are dragged to the ER.

It only took two surgeries to save her live and a long hospital stay, along with a couple of month recovery time at home.

If she had gone even to see a doctor at the onset all of that may could have been avoided.
 
Speaking as an Operating Room Nurse,

Go to the ER NOW. They cannot turn you away. Could be a simple thing. Or something that could be life-threatening. Don't take a chance on your life.

Please Take Care of Yourself :rose:
