confused, I'm sorry you are in so much pain. I hope today is better for you.

yes please see your regular doctor about this for a proper evaluation and work-up.

The ER's function basically is to either admit the patient or stabilize the patient until they can see their doctor. Going to the ER was exactly the right thing to do at the time. I'm sorry that wasn't more helpful.

You might try an antiinflammatory like Ibuprofen or aspirin if you can take those meds ok.

I think there is most definitely an answer for you about what's going on as well as much better relief. Pain isn't there for no reason; it's there to get a person's attention to a trouble spot. Rarely does it have to be a way of life.

You've begun the work of finding out what's causing you pain... keep going.

, relief, and best wishes to you!
