Mandy -

I am sorry you are feeling so bad. Please remember not everyone has the same pain tolerance. If you are feeling that badly, call your Dr. now. Don't be afraid to tell them you are hurting this badly. Rate your pain on a scale of 1-10 (ten being the worst you have ever felt) and be honest.

Call your Dr. right now and let them now. Ask to be seen, it could be something, it probably is nothing. Have it checked out.

Feel better.
