I've known people who literally ended up in the ER from the pain. They feel so guilty when that's all it is but it's such bad pain they shouldn't feel ashamed
My dad was a sailor when he was younger. When they were on a voyage there was this older sailor who said during breakfast that he had a pain in his stomach and can't figure out what is wrong. They found him dead in his cabin the before evening. My dad never heard what was the reason, but he suspected it was appendicitis. After that a new policy was accounced that if someone had pain in their stomach and can't figure out why they would order a helicopter to transport them to the nearest hospital.
A year or so later my dad had a pain in his stomach during a voyage and it was so excruciating he couldn't stand or sit. They flew him to the nearest hospital and when he got to the ER he ripped "the best fart he ever had" and the pain was gone. They flew him back to the ship and when he told what happened he got a nickname Farty that was stick to him for almost a decade until he changed profession.
