So I get this pain in my abdomen from time to time and the last time it got bad (about 2 years ago), I ended up in the ER for 10 hours. They ran every test possible but could find nothing wrong. I had follow-up appointments with other doctors, but nothing conclusive. I was given a pill to take when it flares up and to keep track of whether it helps or not, but most of the time it goes away within 5 minutes on its own, so it's hard to know when I need to be concerned/whether the pill has anything to do with it going away.
Anyway, tonight it flared up and we're now at hour 6 of it coming in waves, but I know that if I go to the ER again they won't find anything and it'll just end up costing me money. Also it's not at a pain level that I'm willing to risk going to the hospital in Covid Times ™️, but idk I'm just depressed that my option seems to be to just sit here and wait for it to go away. I just don't know what else to do.
