Hi Veronica,
The only thing I can think of is to try going to your local hospital ER,
explain the situation and the "extreme" pain and see if they will give you
some pain killers to at least take the edge off until your visit in May.
BTW, your doctor needs an attitude adjustment. Hope you have better luck
with the new doc.
