You know David is right..... What would you have told a newbie? .... GET TO THE DOC!!!!
Call your doc again tomorrow and push them to squeeze you in. Sometimes the people who answer the phones for appointments are like guard dogs. Once I had to tell them to go ask the doc cuz he told me I can get in immediately anytime I need to. After about 5 minutes the girl came back and asked me if I could be there in an hour. Sometimes you need to be aggressive to get results.
Hope you feel better very soon, keep us posted.
