Damn guys I am suffering bad here.....right below the ribcage. I don't think its gas. Being serious.

 

Morning guys, well that was the most excruciating 5-6 hours I have ever spent. I even had to call 911 once because the tacacardia was getting bad and I have an extreme panic disorder. My heart rate was at 130 and my blood pressure at 190/110 when the EMT guys measured it.

I don't know what it was exactly.....I don't think it was a kidney stone, I have passed those before and my pee was mostly clear nothing unusual. Its was also slightly colored darker this morning but nothing like blood in it.

I think what happened is that I started getting a bad gastroentinitis attack (I have had mild ones before) and did a stupid, stupid thing last nite. I felt bloated so what did dummy do ? He has a frosted mug of milk and Ritz crackers with peanut butter as a snack. :pity:

That led to the extreme discomfort, and in turn caused a side muscle to flex and cramp. And for whatever reason I could not get it to relax, and it became like a vice-grip on my side. Dudes, this was bad ........I mean bad guys. I thought "I would rather be dead" bad. I could not go to sleep until after 5am

This morning I woke up and felt sore all over, but back to normal for the most part. Only had a soft-boiled egg over toast for breakfast.

I gotta change my diet, that's it.....I have to cut out all the fried foods and make a change in my life. Thanks for replying y'all, hopefully this was just an incident and not the start of a prolonged bout with kidney stones.....god those are painful. :no:

 

I think it was an inside muscle that cramped when I was "pushing". I could not get it to let go and it was like a vice-grip for hours and hours.

Thanks everyone for being mature about this :up:

 

Hi Mal, much better this morning sir. Hopefully whatever it was has been resolved. Guys this was bad, I mean really bad pain. Like "having a baby" pain from the way I have heard women describe it.

 

Hey Boik, thanks, and yes I was doing the stretching last nite but it just wouldn't let go, adn why I don't know. Maybe it was because I was nervous and couldn't relax, but it just stayed flexed (I could feel it) for hours and hours. I get panic attacks and started getting one when I couldn't get it to relax, and then it took several more hours to get better, and finally around 5am I was able to bear the pain enough to fall asleep. When I woke up around 9:30am the pain was basically all gone, but I was still tired and very sore and was running a slight fever. My heart rate was also elevated but that eventually went down too.

I hope I never have a repeat of this, and I am changing my diet today to get rid of all the fats & bad stuff. Sometimes we need a wakeup call to get our heads in the right place and this was mine -- a 5 alarm bell raisin' wakeup call.

I used to workout and eat right, but as I got older I just stopped working out, and that was wrong. About 10 years ago I was on a diet of grilled chicken breast 3 times a day, with a protein shake 2 more times, and was in the best shape of my life. I need to at least get back to some daily exercise and stop feeling sorry for myself with this rheumatoid arthritis (the reason I stopped lifting).

Thanks everyone :up:

 

It was rough but I made it so far. Lets hope that doesn't repeat itself tonight.

 

Thanks Penn, yes much better today, and hopefully its behind me now.

 

Thanks Doc, will keep that in mind. As of today, back to 100% normal, as if nothing ever happened.
