Help!

So this morning I woke up with a serious pain in my lower stomach. It felt almost like a constant cramp across the whole thing. I met with my NUT today to move on to soft foods and she had asked if I had any abdominal pain and I mentioned it but she didn't appear to be concern. When I got home It got worse. It had moved to stay mostly on the front left side and it was beginning to be painful just to sit. I took a Tylenol and it went away totally for about an hour. I should also add that by this time I had "thrown up" about 3 times. I got home from grad class and it was back, but i could lay down semi conformable. A couple hours later i was in tears because I couldn't do anything because it hurt so bad. I took 2 vicodin about 530 threw up again ( no the pills) and it went away for only about 30 minutes. After that I could still tell it was there but it was as bad. It's now back on my back left side with a vengeance. Almost near tears again.
I have a call into the hospital, waiting for them to call me back. Any advice or ideas about what this might be would be greatly appreciated!!

Pain that is so severe you can't do anything and it makes you cry probably warrants a trip to the ER. At the least, call your surgeon (is that what you meant when you said you had a call in to the hospital?)
Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.
