I'm with you on the avoiding Doctors track.

However, I would suggest you see one asap.

Not just a general practice physician but a gastroenterologist. Because the digestive system is their specialty.

Last year my husband had what he thought was stomach and bowel pain that he took for being a bout of heavy gas buildup. Plus, he has ulcers.

Then it got worse rather than passing through as gas would.

After about three weeks of toughing it out one night he decided to go to the ER. The pain was too intense to put the Doctor off anymore.

Good thing he did. They said if he'd have gone to sleep that night like he'd always done, thinking the painkillers would let him sleep, he'd have died.

Turned out he had a pollup in his intestine that had become infected, swollen, and filled with all manner of nastiness.
Had he put off the ER it would have ruptured and killed him.

It was the size of a grapefruit.

There's an old saying. Chronic pain is the body's prayer for help.

Hubby learned there's also a general rule Doctors cite for chronic sudden pain that doesn't stop in 2 days. Hospital.

Because a chronic pain somewhere you've never had it before means something is very wrong. Your body doesn't just start hurting and for days or weeks unless something has happened within.

Get to a doctor ASAP.
Your life is worth the call. If a gastroenterologist can't see you immediately, get to the ER.

Going directly to a specialist in that area where you hurt saves time , in waiting for a HP to give you the inevitable referral to one, and money.

Praying for you. Please update us.
Thanks. yesterday just felt too tired to go to the doctors. Today much better.

Update: My stomach developed some mild symptoms later in the morning this morning. So I'm not totally out of the woods yet. I think what I will do is wait for two weeks from the start of this and then if it hasn't cleared up go see a doctor. But I don't want to go in if it's COVID. I went back thru my symptom log and it's been around 11 days or so since the start of this. I thought it was longer but I guess not.

Keep in mind what you also eat . Somtimes certain foods or drinks can trigger the ol belly . Try and remember what you ate or drank
shortly before the stomach got triggered . Then skip it tomorrow and then try it again the next day and SEE if it triggers the stomach .
I have found out some foods can trigger the stomach and bowels .

I hope your stomach is doing better today.
Thanks Wynona! I'm kind of giving it some time to see. But the rough day was Sunday. And since that time I have been doing much better. I think it's still giving me a little trouble but nothing I can't handle. And it's only a little bit that I can still feel.
