Sorry about your back pain. You are right about a perforated ulcer though. The worst of the perforated ulcer is you have so little time to act after the perforation occurs. It is quite painful, so you know when it happens, you just don't know what has happened, which delays people from seeking treatment. I only had my daughter call my husband because I thought maybe it was appendicitis. Everyone in the ER suspected it was my appendix or gall bladder and were quite surprised by the CT results.

I hope you can get in quickly for the back pain. H had to have a back operation, and he was crying and saying he wanted to die the pain was so bad.
