question: Hi! On Friday night, I went out for a friend's birthday, but on the way to a diner, I started to feel a pain in my lower right abdomen, right above my pelvic bone. As I sat in the diner, the pain went from a dull ache to a stronger, sharper pain. 30 minutes later, as I was walking home from the diner, the pain got worse with every step to the point where I almost couldn't make it walking up the stairs to my apartment. When I finally got home, the pain turned into a very sharp pain that make me cry and wouldn't ebb no matter what position I sat or laid. I was tempted to go to the hospital, but didn't only because I have no insurance, and decided to wait an hour to see if it would go away. After an hour, the pain only subsided slightly, but I decided to wait it out. I fell asleep at some point, and woke up around 8:30 the next morning with only a dull ache where the pain had been. Since that morning, I haven't felt much pain in the area at all - only a very slight ache when I press down very hard on the spot it had hurt so badly before. Any thoughts? Obviously, I should go to the doctor and get it checked, but like I said, I have no insurance, and would rather not go unless it could be a symptom of something very serious and wasn't a freak accident. I should also add that I have one symptom of polycystic ovarian syndrome - facial hair growth, and my periods used to come around every 35 - 40 days before going on birth control 4 years ago. I've since quit using hormonal birth control, but my periods have been coming regularly every 28 days ever since.
