Prayers - please

You also old enough not to have the need for pampering, I'm sure that there are others on this forum much worse off than you are. If you refuse to see a Doctor at least pay a visit to a priest or Rabbi of your choosing.

I am 26, but with no military time. Funny as it sounds, I missed going in by 2 points, thanks to the math tests.

I wasn't asking for pampering/babying or anything else. Just a prayer that it is nothing more serious, then what I have been used to all of my life is all.

Dee, with all due respect, I may be a lot of things (especially from what I am told over the years growing up), but immature is definitely not one of them. I lost my mother when I was 14 years old, and basically have taken care of myself since then. And no, I have never said or believed that I am better or worse than anyone else.

Also, if I were to play this all down, this thread would not exist. You must not have read the parts, that these pains have been ongoing for over 10 years now. Not something, that I am NOT used to. I just don't care to pay hundreds or thousands in hospital expenses or doctors expenses to be fed the same Bologna that I have gotten all my life.

This does have me concerned, especially when it has NEVER lasted this long...right now, it hurts if I move a certain way, and especially if I press the area. Which is why, soon as my wife gets back, I am going to the ER to get checked out. I am sure it is nothing, but I much rather be safe, then dead.

Also, your comment of a licensed therapist is not needed. Read everything I have written in this thread, and you will see why.
