Went to the doctors today and there is good news and bad news.

     The good, they x-rayed me and did not find any masses or other obstructions.

     The bad news, the burning pain I’ve been experiencing relates to a nerve that was cut when they drained the boil.  As it heals there is a phase where it is super-irritable and that’s where it is at and the reason I’m feeling the burning pain.  This could last months to the rest of my life.

     Secondary bad news, they determine cause is not a mechanical obstruction but did not determine what is, so now I’ve been referred to a gastroenterologist for further diagnostics.
