Had a dull ache in my abdomen all night and managed no sleep. Dunno if it's gas, a massive xmas turd or a gallstone. Not sitting 6 hours in an ER to find out.
I reckon you can rule out gallstones. When I had them, I was in so much stabbing pain I couldn't stand up. It wasn't a dull ache, more like contractions.
Go to hospital if it gets worse dude.
Im at one now with my gf with chest issues.
When you say contractions, are we talking 30 seconds apart for hours ? I'm getting 5 seconds of a dull pain every 30 seconds. Pain is very tolerable at the moment but the aches are every 30 seconds and I'm losing my mind.
Hope she feels better soon.
I'm really hoping it goes away, I sat in the ER for 6 hours with Pneumonia a few years back and never got seen, walked out, not keen to do it again.
There was nothing dull about it... it was a pretty violent pain. I was like writhing on the floor because I wasn't comfortable sitting, standing or lying down. The first time it happened I thought I was having a heart attack. It might be different for different people though?
Have you got an urgent or primary care unit near you? Virtual ED is also really good if you're in Victoria, not sure if they have them in other states.
There's a major hospital and a new satellite hospital. Both are notorious for long waits. 2 Super clinics are both closed. 1 is open Monday the other Thursday.

Mine felt like someone was squeezing my organs. A consistent long ache rather than stabbing
I would be curled up in a ball for hours

I went to hospital by ambulance, unable to move from pain across the abdomen. Tests showed nothing. It went away after about four hours. Turned out to be cramped abdominal muscle/s.
Just went into the hospital and walked out instantly. Told by a lovely old lady who was waiting that she was in line for a CHAIR to sit on for over an hour. Health care system is cooked. 50+ people in the waiting room and they have people standing in hallways...

100%. How the health crisis in this ****n country isn’t an urgent national priority is beyond me. Deaths due to shortage of health care professionals seem to be collateral damage of this great new era we’re living in.

... and the great news is they are relaxing the accreditation rules (including the language test) even more to allow more overseas-qualified medicos to practice, in addition to the express pathways that came into effect last October.
There's also shortcuts and bypasses to the system.
Anyone qualified - from anywhere - can go to the UK and sit what's called the PLAB exam, The Professional and Linguistic Assessments Board (PLAB) test that assesses the knowledge, skills, and language proficiency of doctors who qualified outside of the UK. It's a written exam made up of 180 multiple choice questions that must be passed within 3 hours. A pass is 115-120 questions. They can work in the UK for one year and then apply directly for Australian vacancies under the Competent Authority Pathway, and do not have to sit the AMC exams over here.
And if you think people aren't taking advantage of that system, just have a quick google.

Unfortunately you needed help during the one week of the year that nearly every GP in the country is closed.
I don't think today is an accurate representation of the system for the other 51 weeks a year.

Just brought it in still didn’t get emptied
I felt terrible for the reception. It wasn't friendly for the short time I was there. Had a Home dial dr call just before. She thinks I have a Duodenal ulcer. Pain has cleared up since eating so I think it's a good call. Will look into it Monday
Wow - just found out the 'Mighty Melbourne' burger at Grill'd (with egg and betroot) is just called the 'Almighty' when ordered interstate. I'm actually outraged.
Called a big qlder up here. Each state has same burger with its own state name.
I am just discovering this now......
in WA it is the 'WILD WILD WEST' ... in SA 'The Big Crow Eater' ....
Is nothing sacred?? These chumps would throw out their roots just for the sake of localisation!!
This is the shapeshifting cricket from Futurama in the real world!!!
