Over the counter painkillers won't cut it, sadly. I was on Demerol shots for a solid month (ER every second night) to keep the pain at bay before they knew what it was.
When they finally diagnosed it and set me up for emergency surgery the following week, I got ulcer medication to slow down trips to the ER. I believe it was a high-strength painkiller + stomach meds...however, they didn't work and I did end up in the ER anyway one night before surgery.
