Well, I know I said I had nothing to do with this board, but this is a complete exception to the rule.
I'm saddened to hear about that, but what ever you do, don't take it lightly. I had a pain in my stomache and they blamed my 'diet', later on while in physical training for ROTC we had to run 300 yard dash to place. I ran the 300 yards and placed first with a time of 49.6 seconds. That night I was in pain, as my muscels cooled off the pain increased. That morning I could not get out of bed and I went to the hospital. I got a ton of muscle relaxers, and they wanted to take a x-ray to make sure I didn't pull any of them. The x-ray was abnormal, eveything was fine but there was a weird mark on my tail bone. (bad film?) the hooked a ivy to me and took me for a C.A.T. scan just-in-case. The CT scan came up with a growth on my spine, the doctor said it was a bone cyst..he was wrong. After a MRI it was determined to be a tumor on my spine and after 6 doctors I was sent to UCLA for surgery. I now am missing my tail bone and the vertibre above it. I am lucky I'm able to walk none less be able to do everything I was able to do before. Don't take it lightly.
