I still haven't had a chance to finish reading all of your comments and suggestions yet, but I want to thank everyone for your responses. I will probably go to the ER later tonight or tomorrow, as soon as the extreme pain returns. Unfortunately, we are expecting Tropical Storm Colin to be here hammering us tomorrow. Our weather has already deteriorated considerably due to the approaching storm. Depending on how bad our weather gets, I may have to wait until Wed for my ER visit.
I will definitely let you know asap when I have it to the ER and what the verdict is. If you don't hear from me in the next few days, it will mean that I'm temporarily unable to access the computer. Worst case, I guess it's possible they may even keep me at the hospital depending on the diagnosis.
