Complaining about stomach pain
It started with heartburn on Saturday. Strong and persistent—8 Rolaids didn’t make a dent. On Sunday the burn was gone but the feeling of pressure in my upper abdomen had increased. I kept feeling like I needed to burp but then I thought I might throw up.
On Monday, it seemed to be almost gone so I went for my scheduled-for-Saturday-long-run of 4 miles. Big mistake. I could only run 2 of my intervals and then had to walk most the rest of the way. My abdomen just plain hurt. At least I finished 3.67 miles in 55 minutes, averaging under 15 minutes a mile mostly walking.
As the day went on the pain just got worse. In the late afternoon I made a little Costco run for incidentals but even that small activity left me stumbling behind a cart and sweating with pain. Ugh. Got on the phone to the doctor and crawled into bed. I got up that evening to straighten up but couldn’t do much more than some laundry and TV.
The doctor told me to go to Urgent Care if the pain got bad but otherwise to keep an eye on it and call her the next day. This sucks.

Hope you’re feeling better today. If not, go to Urgent Care! This could be any number of things. Being in pain for 3-4 days is not just a ‘normal’ stomach ache. You need to see a doctor if this hasn’t cleared up by today.

Go to the doctor! You’re worrying me. And feel better.

I’m feeling about the same as yesterday morning. So, I’ll rest (instead of doing 4 miles) and see how it goes. Thanks for the concern, guys! *hugs*
