I understand why this is so frightening to you, since your mother died following symptoms like the ones you are having now.  This does not necessarily mean, however, that you are going to die, or even that you have what your mother had.  I am a Grandma, not a doctor, but I know after 62 years of living, raising children, and caring for grandchildren and great grandchildren, that there are also non-life threatening, and even non-serious, causes of stomach pain and cramping.

However, as I said, I am not a doctor.  Why don't you try calling your doctor, and if the office is closed, ask for the on-call doctor to call you back.  Calling a hospital emergency room and speaking to a nurse might also help, if the hospitals in your area provide this service.  This will hopefully give you some peace of mind. 

I got to the hospital during the Blizzard of '78  - if you are from New England or the northeast you will have heard of it - on an enormous National Guard truck that was part of a plane load of heavy duty equipment flown in from somewhere in the south in response to the Blizzard. (Yes, "blizzard" is always capitalized in this context lol.)  My medical problem wasn't serious enough to send out the National Guard for, although it was something that if possible should have been seen by a doctor.  The girl next door (and I do mean girl, not woman) went into labor, the truck came for her, and I hitched a ride!

  Are you Bleeding when using the Bathroom or is your stool pitch black ? If not I seriously doubt your hemorrhaging. If you are and you think it's a Emergency and you can't drive , Call a Ambulance  or 911

OK, so I passed some gas (lol) and the original sharp pain went away. I still have them ocasionally off and on as well as extream discomfort and fullness. The pain comes and goes but the fullness is always there as well as the feeling that I can't walk right. I also have some discomfort in myt legs and sometimes my back but it isn't bad. I burn when I  urinate..and sometimes I get the feeling like something is running out of my rectum area but I don't see anything or I don't think I do. I still think I'm goiung to call my doctor tomorrow but I almost always get a nurse. I would like to call an er nurse tonight but I don't know how to go about talking to them without them thinking it's an emergency.

You say "I would like to call an er nurse tonight but I don't know how to go about talking to them without them thinking it's an emergency".

You do it this way: "This is not an emergency, but I am having some symptoms that worry me.  Would it be possible for me to talk to a nurse?"
