Reposting from the main board... Hey all, Okay, I've read through the library on this and didn't find much. For the last 24 hours I've had a strong dull pain in my left side, a couple of inches down from my ribs about about 4in left of my bellybutton. It feels like someone punched me, hard, in the side of my gut. I did several things yesterday that may (or may not) have led to several different issues. First, I took a fall while walking, tripping over a wire and doing a belly flop into the gravel (it was lovely, lol) I jumped right back up and brushed myself off and seemed fine. Secondly, I was given a new pair of jeans that fit, but just barely, and wore them all day yesterday. They cut in pretty tight as I sat at my desk all day. Finally, I was stupid and kinda went wild at a wedding rehearsal dinner last night, several slices of bread and some pasta (no sweets or grease though). The pain was a dull ache from noon on and by the time I went to bed my stomach was bloated and it was painful to roll over, like a has a belly full of gas. Hurts in that spot when I cough. No sleep for me. Felt a little btter this morning but comes back each time I eat. Seems like my options are...nothing, ulcer, pulled muscle, staple line disruption, or gas. Anyone have any insights on this, or what I might do about it? I have a busy weekend and will drop everything for a trip to the doc if I really have to, but would rather not.

Just my mile walk to the carpool. But, I was running late and had to run the last few blocks. LOL so it was a little more than just a stroll.
