I would go call the doctors answering service ASAP. This could be something that needs immediate attention. Perhaps he could ve seen at a facility closer to home. It doesn't cost anything to ask. It's better for your peace of mind, at least you will find out if it is temporary or if there is something that can be done to lessen the pain.
Please post when you have some results. I send my prayers that he gets immediate relief.
