Turned out I had an ulcer. I ended up going to my family doctor who was able to diagnose the ulcer by where the pain was located. When I first talked to a nurse about a pain in my stomach, she said I didn’t need to see the doctor and to call back in a week or two if I still had the problem. I guess ‘pain in the stomach’ is low on their ‘must see’ list of symptoms. Anyway, my advice to you is to keep advocating for yourself!
