hi everyone,

thursday morning i started having abdominal pain and was at first anxious it was appendix related. last night and today it shifted to above my belly button and btween breastbone and feels like the burning pain of an ulcer. i went to the local walk in clinic and she basically agreed and gave me a prescription for pepcid. I do take NSAIDs for headaches, so I feel like it's pretty likely the excedrin i took earlier this week irritated my stomach.

She did say if the pain gets worse, to head to the ER. So now I'm anxious that it's actually something more sinister (appendix, gallbladder, who else knows what could go wrong) going on in there. I am burping and have done all of the usual appendix tests - none of them create more pain. Also, my temp is normal and i'm not throwing up.

The pain is pretty intense, so i'm hoping to hear from someone who went through similar. How long until it starts feeling better?

Thanks so much.
