Ok, I'm mostly venting, because I've been in pain for close to a week, and it is making me tired and crabby.
Very tender spot at the far right next to the hip bone. Was just under that hollow that forms to the inside of the pelvic bone when you lie on your back - except it has extended somewhat above and below that small area as of today. Last night, I could clearly feel that there was some sort of mass that the left side of the abdomen did not have.
I looked up fibroids today and decided (with perhaps some wishful thinking) that this was the problem. Two days ago I felt all day as if I had a fever, but that went away, so not sure if the two are related. Watched a video on how to apply a castor oil pack with a heat pad (stuff we have), and will try that tomorrow. Chewed some milk thistle seeds - they are supposed to help indirectly by clearing the liver.
I do not trust doctors, but I suppose if the pain becomes screaming horrible, there may be an ER trip.
