Pain in stomach towards back

Hi everyone, I am off to the ER around 3pm today.  For the past two weeks I have been experiencing an uncomfortable pain on my left side of  my stomach.  Sometimes it goes away but for the past two days it has been a little stronger and going towards my back.  I'm not in agony but do need some pain killers.  And I'm wondering what the hell it is.  I tried to go see my PCP but he is on vacation and my surgeon just told me to go to the ER if I think it is serious. (he doesn't have hours the rest of the week)
I have no fever but do feel rather light headed when I get up or walk around.  The pain also comes when I am walking.  I hope they find out what it is because it is really uncomfortable and not normal to walk around in discomfort.

Wish me luck

another OH member was complaining of similar problems. I think you are making the best decision by going to the ER.. Prayers are with you sweetie... hope it's nothing serious... keep us posted

How have your bowels been moving?  Have they been regular?  Have you been eating regular meals?

When you go to ER, they will more than likely give you a CAT scan to see what the problem is.

I hope you get relief soon.

My bowels are fine. I have been eating a lot of fiber... my husband thinks it is Kidney stones.

Kim thanks for asking her about her bowels, you KNOW I will diagnose a person with a Small Bowel Obstruction in a minute!!!

Hope you feel better soon!!

Hope you are ok

 I hope they figure out what it is and can control the pain.  
Please give us an update later.
