I have been experiencing a stomachache, like a twisted feeling, for at least 4 hours. It happens several minutes one after another. This started after a surgery last week for removing a cyst in the abdominal cavity. I have taken omeprazole but have not seen a doctor yet. What should I do?

I started CrossFit last week and developed a stomach bug, followed by soreness, fatigue, a low-grade fever, and allergy symptoms. My doctor diagnosed swollen glands in my neck, normal urine test results, and prescribed Nexium and an antihistamine nasal spray. However, I noticed new rib soreness and found painful, cyst-like masses on my lower right ribs. My period is due next week, and I'm still very tired. What could these symptoms indicate, and what should I do?

I need to get an MRI for a neck problem that likely requires surgery and fusion of a couple of vertebrae. I've had MRIs before and found them very uncomfortable, so I'm looking for an 'open' MRI. Where is the closest 'open' MRI to my home in Strandburg, South Dakota 57265?
