at what point should you go to the ER for cramps?

Question

I have had really bad cramps for like three weeks and it's like on and off. Lately they've been getting worse it feels like  today they hurt really bad and it's night time so no place is open and idk I took pain killers but I'm just wondering at what point should you go to the ER for cramping? Do you have to be on the floor sobbing? I'm not at that point but they hurt really bad and really deep
I'm not pregnant I don't think and it's been three weeks but they're on and off sometimes I can go a day or two without them but then they'll come back it's like period cramps but no period. I'm just afraid of going there and then telling me I'm fine and I'm overreacting and then I get billed a huge bill

Answer

Go to your regular doctor immediately.

If it's on your right side it can be a case of appendicitis that keeps going away and coming back and can burst at any time. Very bad.
If it's on the left or both sides it can be cysts on your ovaries and I have a friend who had a decent amount of free blood in her abdomen after one ruptured, enough that they removed one ovary completely.

Please see a doctor ASAP.

Answer

If you don't go to the ER, then definitely go to your GP Asap!

Answer

I went to my OBGYN and she literally told me that I had to deal with them and to take ibuprofen. Seriously?? I have to suffer in pain every day or just damage my liver by taking pills every day? How can she tell me that getting cramps all month is just ok??

Answer

I had that happen a couple years ago and had really-REALLY- awful cramps one night but decided not to go to ER- cramps kept bothering me for weeks so I go to the doctor and find out it was an ovarian cyst that ruptured. Def go to urgent care or ER.

Answer

Don't go to ER. You should make an appointment with your obgyn.

Answer

That happened to me 10 years ago!! I ended up being 6 weeks pregnant with my now 10 year old son!

Answer

I would go to the ER since its been three weeks. That's not normal.
