Worst pain--------?help

For the last 2 days i have been getting this worse stabbing/cramping pain on my left side mainly in the upper and middle section, with radiation to back side, This pain 20/20, worst ever, I tried bentyl, tylenol, aleeve but to no effect, only thing that helps me is heating pad. Last night I had fever with it too. I am worried. Any body in similar boat. My doctor really does not pay attention any more.:sign0085:

Hey, if your pain is that bad is it worth it to go to the ER? You might get a good doctor that will do tests and that and if it's a triage system you might not have to wait that long.

Are you constipated? What medication are you on for crohns?

You may want to get checked for kidney stones too - pain radiating around the back, etc.....if you are blocked enough, you can end up perforating a kidney (happened to my Mom) which may lead to infection etc if not treated.....

How is your pee? Do you feel like you have to go a lot - is it cloudy or discolored at all? This is often how you can check - but you MAY NOT show these signs - my Mom didn't and it too 2 ER trips and finally a CT to find the monster stone....

I would definitely go to the ER if the pain is that severe. What do you mean the colonoscopy was unremarkable?
