Dude, it could be appendicitis. I had it waaayyy back as a kid, I remember getting really bad gas cramps about a week beforehand, they had me doubled over and stuff. Then I got appendicitis and had to get my appedix removed else it'd burst.

Might wanna get that looked at...

how'd you know when to go to the hospital, will the pain become just really unbearable or did you go when the pain was still under control.

If it's your appendix the pain should be under your belly-button and to the left I believe. My dad had his appendix taken out. It's a real simple surgery. You really might wanna have it checked out.

There's a picture that'll show you the location of the appendix kinda. Good luck.

Yes, it sounds like your appendix, I got mine out when I was 10. Do what CCP said, most hospitals will accept small monthly payments. Good luck and get going cuz your appendix can rupture and I think that can be serious.

Yeah, my dad had to get his taken out before, there's a scar there now after the procedure. I haven't had to have mine taken out, thank God.

Yeah, if it hurts go to the ER, explain your situation and see if they'll work with you. Appendicitus can be serious if you delay too long. It's an infection and causes an inflammation which stretches the area, if allowed to go to long it tears and releases the infection into your abdominal cavity causing further problems. Have you been vomitting?

here's a link that goes through some of the symptoms

I have no comments about the pain, but what I do have is a new appreciation for our health care system in Canada.
