To call 999?

[Worried234]

Excruciating abdo pain. 111 said wait for call from OOH within 6 hours. In so much pain. Real agony.

I'm so glad you called and have had pain relief and will be seeing someone. I hope it's something easily treatable. All the best.

Hope you're okay OP and recover quickly!

How did it go today @Worried234? Been thinking about you after reading your post in the early hours xx

Hope you’re feeling a bit better. Did they find out the cause?

Ouch, glad you called I think often it is the right thing to do. I’ve had kidney stones a few times never felt pain like it, twice whilst very heavily pregnant and once after the baby. Was actually worse than having the baby and nothing I did at bome made any difference I couldn’t sit, stand or do much at all - with 13 month old and 2 older kids I had to wait in agony for their dad to get home with granny to get me to a&e then I threw up all over the car in the driveway wasn’t v popular was in hospital a few nights, I remember the nurse in hospital saying to me oh love you’re really not well and being so kind - also couldn’t get any really decent pain relief due to baby/breastfeeding. Thankfully never had that again.
Anyway I hope you’re being cared for well & things get better soon, take care

Hope you’re ok 👍🏼

Hope you're doing ok OP. If it's any consolation I went to A&E a few years back with excruciating abdomen pains and it turned out to be my first IBS flare up. Agony but harmless.

Update. I have a 9cm ovarian cyst, that the surgeons think is twisted around my ovary itself. I have had a CT scan and am due for surgery tomorrow. I have never had pain like it. Thanks so much all of you for supporting me

Bloody hell, no wonder that hurt OP. Good that you are being dealt with so quickly. Just think of the relief once it's removed.

Poor you though - sounds really painful. Hope you get some sleep tonight.

Oh my @Worried234!
sleep well

So glad you are in the hospital now. Good luck with the surgery

Glad you went to hospital and you are going to be sorted out.

Good lord, you poor woman! I hope you can get some decent rest and are not in pain

Good luck OP

So glad to hear you are getting the care you need OP.
And glad you didn’t listen to the posters who think you should only call 999 if you are practically dead! The ambulance service is capable of making an assessment as to who needs an ambulance, and in what order of priority. You’d think that when you dial 999 you automatically join the back of the queue and just wait your turn by some of what you read on here!
Anyway, wishing you a speedy recovery OP.

All the best OP

Oh goodness! Poor you
So glad you called for help and glad they can sort you swiftly

hope you have a speedy recovery

Good luck op. I had exactly the same thing 20 years ago. The relief following the operation was immense. They removed one of my Fallopian tubes but had two quick pregnancies in the years after. Hope all goes smoothly for you.

I had similar. 111 said to wait for a call back, but when I turned green (literally, never believed it when I read it in books) then DH drove me to the GP. Locum diagnosed IBS. An hour later DH rang them back and proper GP took one look at me, pressed my abdomen and called an ambulance.

I had started with appendicitis and ended up with slash and burn (MASSIVE scar) due to peretonitis. My appendix was described as "very runny" by the surgeon the next day.

Oh God good luck this morning for your op. Enjoy the morphine

Ouch!! Glad you’re being seen to now. Hopefully on the mend quickly

Oh gosh OP, good job you got seen! I hope you've had a good sleep on the morphine and that all goes well today.

Oh good luck ok
