Went to the doctor, no high temp, no pain in abdomen or back.
So he just tells me that I probably passed a stone and just gave me pain meds and anti-inflammatory meds and to come back after 2 days.
Ngl I feel dismissed should I look for a second opinion?
Btw first time that this happens for me in my 29 years of life
