    Gonna have to see a doctor....

    I hate doctors. But I have little choice.

    Been having a pain in my upper abdomen the last few days. Directly below the sternum and to the right a bit sometimes. Thinking my gall bladder is trying to tell me something, but I better go and let the professionals tell me what is going on.

    I may get lucky and just be having a bout of indigestion or something like that, but this is pretty localized so I fear that I am slowly turning into an old fart.

    Did I say that I hate doctors? To the point of near phobia?

    Man I hate this.....

    Good luck, Mike. I wouldn't even wish gall bladder trouble on a Republican like you! ;)
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Does it flare up after a meal?

    welcome to the club, it only gets worse, for one day you'll be sure you are there.

    GL with the medical industry, may your encounter with them be only a glance.

    Mike, going thru something very similar myself right now. And I can't tell you how much I hate doctors too. Best wishes and I'll go if you go. :)

    For the most part, yes. Lasts for up to 4 hours after eating. Started off as rather severe pain the other day, but now is just a dull lingering pain. Enough to bother me into looking for a doctor.
