I waited a little while to post until I knew what was going on.

My temp has gone up to 100.8F now, has been stable there for a while, and the pain is a bit worse. I should probably go to the hospital, but I don't have much confidence in my own judgement since every time I call the gastro they don't think any of my symptoms are significant and they blow me off. I didn't bother calling them. I called the triage nurse at my PCP's office and left a message saying I'm dealing with X, Y, Z now and what do I do?

I usually don't let medical people steam roll me like this, but they're so ****ing patronizing. I don't know what's wrong with me, other than the fact that I'm afraid that my instincts are wrong, and I'll waste a lot of time and money, and end up looking like a jackass in the end.

I hope the nurse calls back soon.

If my temp goes up , pain gets worse, or something else happens I will go to the ER whether they get back to me or not.

I will have my phone, so I can let you know what happens.
