I would call your local "Ask a Nurse" hotline and ask that question

Dec 27, 8:07pm

If it were me, I'd go in.

Doc here,

Not a doctor, but go to the ER (or urgent care). You should never wait with severe pain.

Do not go to an urgent care, go to an ED

I would go to ER, but some are against that because of the copay. But urgent cares are pretty useless for serious stuff

All an urgent care will do is try to reduce the hernia and send you to the ED. You get to pay twice!

I'm at this point in my life where I'm trying to understand the value of the UC.

If you can't get relief of pain by reducing it, gotta be seen tonight

As an orthopedic surgeon, I am more of a repairman but with that degree of pain, probably should go to the ER

this, reminds me of my roommate’s brother at BYU, who is extremely sick so he went and signed up for the student health

I think you’ll be fine to wait it out through the weekend

That’s what I would think, but I’m not him. 😄

This is 100% one of those 'better safe than sorry', go meander down to a local

Dec 27, 9:06pm

You'll feel better by morning, because you'll be an angel by then.

In surgery residency they taught us to never let the sun rise or set on an incarcerated hernia
