See someone...: Rule of thumb: any pain that does not improve within 24 hours is worth investigating. Special types of pain shouldn't even wait that long. Factors that suggest a more serious problem would be a fever, nausea or emetics, or a productive cough.do any of these trouble you as well? See a doctor soon to get help with this, even if you need to go to the Emergency Dept.
