Seriously about to lose it need advice!!

Ok ladies I'm 24 weeks pregnant today and over the past month I have been getting excruciating upper back and rib pain. Normally I managed to curb it but over this past week I have never been in so much pain in my life it hurts so bad I have started shaking thrown up and blacked out because of it. I have tried everything tylenol ice pack heating pack shower bath stretches nothing has helped I went in to the emergency room and they basically told me it's muscle spasms and to go see a chiropractor and I have an appointment this Monday which was the earliest. Last night like every day this week I woke up at 2:00 am with this pain and it was so bad I blacked out at the bottom of my stairs my brother called 911 since my husband was at work and by the time they got here I had regained consciousness but was hyperventilating and crying because it hurt so bad. And they told me to suck it up and deal with it that there is NOTHING that anyone can do for me. The guy told me his wife just learned to meditate and stretch which I have been doing. I am still in pain at this very moment almost 12 hours later just sobbing and not knowing what to do. Please is there any advice on what I can do to make it to Monday? I know this is normal in pregnancy but how can it be normal to be so bad I pass out and throw up because I'm in so much pain?

So sorry I haven't updated I actually went to my first chiropractor visit yesterday and found out a lot is wrong with me. I've always had back problems but never realized how bad it was my pelvic bone doesn't move correctly my left hip sits so much higher than my right when I walk it's as if one leg is shorter than the other. I don't have the full range of motion I'm suppose to in my neck back and hips, the nerves on the left side of my spine aren't moving correctly. I have to go in 3 times a week until it can be corrected and the adjustment hurt so bad I almost cried however I have no pain I'm sore but NO PAIN I have never been so relieved in my life. Also on Thursday I am going in to my obgyn and having blood tests done to see if it is my gallbladder just to be extra sure but as of now I have had no pain for 2 days which is a miracle to me.

Oh my gosh these all sound terrible I will for sure be going to a different doctor and hospital cause everyone keeps saying I'm fine I just need to suck it up when I know I'm not fine. Thanks so much for the advice I didn't even think of it being my gallbladder!

And one time I had a kidney infection and they took out my appendix! There was nothing wrong with my appendix! And I was pregnant.

Yes go to a different hospital. I had a hospital try and tell me my baby was healthy when I knew he wasn't. I took him to another hospital and he had pnemonia. Some hospitals are stupid.

I was throwing up yellow and The hospital kept telling me nothing was wrong. The 7th time going in a nurse said she wasn't going to let me leave.. My liver count was SKY high. After being in the hospital and put into a sleep a coma they took it out and it was completely dead. Please go to a different hospital

Agree totally that this could be your galbladder and i wouldve happily punched the "suck it up" person on the nose. Go to a diff hospital and get tested. If your poo is yellowish (sorry graphic) this can be a sign of galbladder.x
