Was driving home Thursday and reached forward to pick up a water bottle and felt a nice sharp pain below my belly button. By midnight the pain was pretty intense and had a 103 fever and extremely bloated. Was up all night to. I know I have experienced mild symptoms like this over the years but nothing this extreme. Managed to tough out one more day of work and hit a clinic on the way and he told me I should probably go to the ER and get a ct scan. Turned my business phone off in defeat and I did the exact opposite and just went home and started looking a natural cures. Been drinking lots of water with lemons and no food since yesterday. Fever is now gone but I still feel bloated and still feel pain but nowhere near as extreme as yesterday. I’m going to try to not eat until Monday and then nothing but fruit for a week. Being self employed I don’t have weeks to take off from work recovering and I really don’t want to give up a body part either. I guess all the bacon wrap shrimp tacos have finally caught up to me this year. Anyone on here ever successfully win this battle without ending up on the chopping block. I’m just so bummed too that the weather is so nice and I’m not on the lake either.
@SwaggyG: Better to play safe---let the Dr rule out appendicitis (not curable) if rupture can cause peritonitis. I have no med experience but that is what i heard from others in similar instances. If you are self employee for more reasons to go see a Dr at the ER. Take care of it. Best wishes!
