For The Past Couple Days I Have Had A Severe

Posted on Wed, 25 Nov 2020

Question: For the past couple days I have had a severe pain in my abdomen that radiates to my lower back and ribs area. It last for about 30 minutes at a time. But those 30 are unbearable. I would say I have a decently high pain tolerance and this is a solid 9/10. I barley ate because I can’t even look at food let alone eat it. And I’m too scared to take emotrol because if it makes it any worse I’m gonna have to go to the emergency room.
