Well, Joanmarie, it's not panic. I'm as calm as a cucumber. When you get one "clue" that your body is in trouble, then another, then bigger ones, you're wise to listen before your body hands you an even bigger one. I'm glad that you figured out your pain was from the drug and not the drug causing an even bigger problem. But your knowledge came from experience.

Yeah, drugs can cause indigestion like Tetracycline did to me years ago (actually, it was an ulcer reaction). But the only way to know for sure is to do "the ER thing." Not that I'm big on ER's but they are useful.

Does it help being contrary? It's probably nothing. Just a pulled muscle or something. Just ignore it, I'm sure it'll go away.
