Just wanted to know if anyone had any bad adverse reactions, such as blood coming out where it should not to put it delicately. And should I go to the er about this, or wait until I can make a doctor appointment? My only guess is that it gave me ulcers, which are bleeding, but very little initial discomfort like I get with other anti-inflammatories because they are coated. Either way, it freaked me out and was very unpleasant. Anti-inflammatories always are, but this is different.
I've never taken that particular med, although of course I've used other anti-inflammatories.
If there's blood involved, I'd certainly either get hold of your doctor right away (or whoever's on call for him/her over the weekend,) or go to the ER. If you suspect a GI bleed, those can go sour very quickly and unexpectedly.
Aw myth you really been going through it! I will really be praying for you! I Second nutcracker, and ANY unexpected bleeding needs to be considered an emergency! FOllow your instinct. You say this is different.. Please go get it taken care of! Let us know how you are wehn you can hun!

Thanks for the comments, it is what I thought. But still, today seems a bit better, so maybe I will hold out and see if it goes away. I don't want to overact by going to the ER if I can avoid it, but I will keep a close eye on the situation and see.
