Severe stomach pain for 10 hours +

Antique_Guitars

Oh man never had stomach pain like this before, have taken some stuff so will see what happens. Non stop pain in my lower stomach regions.

Feel like extreme constipations or blockage however 1) bowels were working fine this morning and 2) I havent actually eaten much.

Don't think its appendix though as I have no pain in my right hand side although I do occasionally in my left which is weird.

You have 2 choices.

The first is A&E where there are trained medical professionals, experienced in the diagnosis and remediation of bodily ailments.

The second is theFB where there aren't.  (We have some dentists, obviously, but no actual doctors).

Flip that coin again ....

Get to A&E. That's fairly common for appendicitis. http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Appendicitis/Pages/Symptoms.aspx

Mine was exactly like that - started on the left/middle, then moved down and across, then got *much* worse.

I was 14 when mine happened. My parents waited until the following morning, then called the GP who took one look and said "ambulance, now". My appendix burst some time after I got to hospital and before they operated. Close call.

Pretty sure we've got a few ambulance chasers here

If you're well enough to post on here-
I'd call NHS 111 (just dail 111 on a landline): they're great & can book you an emergency appointment at the hospital to save you waiting there.

If you get any worse. A&E.

Let us know how you get on.

Don't piss about with your health - A & E. If it was unnecessary, feel bad about it after the event. Unrelated in terms of the actual illness but my ex-wife told me today that her nephew (who's 31, one on the nicest people you could ever hope to meet and is due to get married) has just had a cancerous testicle removed having put off going to the doctors for a year.

The next step is to see if the cancer has spread.

Please get yourself checked out ASAP...

A+E no need to put it off, this is why we have universal healthcare in the UK.

Was it that guy you answered from PlentyofFish bisexual column?

I had my stomach swell up like it was fit to burst with food poisoning one time, only time it has happened with food poisoning.  It was Tesco bacon.  Have you eaten any Tesco bacon?

I know a girl who has had this pain for seven month now.  Her GP said she should go on anti depressants as her pain threshold was poor.  Finally saw the gastroenterologist today, who she has been asking to see for seven months.  His words were, why the hell didn't you see me straight away, there is something seriously wrong, how long have you been like this.  She replied seven months.  Damn GP only works 3 days a week and plenty of stories about utter incompetence, bordering on negligence, and people dying from their misdiagnosis, where even a lay person could see the danger signs, given all the information.

She went to A&E several times, in an ambulance as she was fainting and in dire pain.  The A&E staff sent her straight back home again and said it was just her bowl that was full and gave her a talking to for wasting time.

A doctor is going to call me apparently

This. Listen to this.

Or (potentially) get as fucking sick as me (health sick, not fucked in the head sick, I know I cover both).

Are you curled up in pain? Can you point exactly where it is? Oh and tell a Doctor, not me.

Antique_Guitars

I'm not doubled over in pain but I have a weird pain threshold so who knows, I couldn't really feel that much when I dislocated my shoulder for the first time a while back.

Just get it sorted dude, we're supposed to be finishing off that KY jelly next week.

You sound quite like me*, get some proper medical advice.
