Hi Ali~
I would agree have the Dr. paged. Ask them what they should do. If
it's in the bladder region for some reason this is something they would
want to know. They will tell you if you should go over to the ER or not
if they think it's serious. That way it's document as well so later on
someone can't say "it couldn't have been that important if you didn't
give us a call".
Keep me posted. :) Thinking of you all...
