You CANNOT wait around for them to contact you.
Contact your doctor's answering service right NOW and inform them you will be in office the minute they open, appointment or no appointment. If the pain is too much to handle then it's time for you to go to the Emergency Room. If you have any problems when you get there, lie down on the floor in front of the receptionist and start screeching loudly about the pain. You WILL be assisted.
