Ulcer???

Ok, well, last monday, I found out that I have a kidney stone (again). Sigh....anyway, I was put on Toradol, Vicodin, and Phenergan for it. And then around Wednesday or so, I started having really bad heartburn. So I went to Walmart and got some Tagamet and Rolaids. They helped a little bit. Until bedtime, when I tried to lay down, I weird gnawing pain started under my left rib, and felt like it was crawling up my chest. It would come in waves. It would be mild at first, then get worse, then get bad enough that I felt like I was having a heart attack or something, then go away, all in a matter of 15 seconds or so. And it happened over and over all night long, and has happened at night since Wednesday. So I called a nurse and she told me to stop taking the Toradol, so I did. But I'm worried that, since I'm going to run out of the vicodin probably tonight or tomorrow morning, I'm going to be hurting so bad I won't be able to take care of my son. So I think I'm going to go to Walmart tonight, get some Prilosec, and then go to the DirectCare clinic (walk-in clinic) tomorrow morning and tell them what's up, and see if they can do anything to help me until I pass this stone. Hopefully I don't have to go to the hospital. My son would have to stay with his grandparents and they don't want to have to watch him all night. He doesn't go to sleep easily.
Does anyone else have any experience with ulcers? What helped you?

Welcome, I am sorry I didn't see your message sooner.
It isn't a good idea to use so many different OTC products at the same time. Most people are under the misconception that since they can be bought in a store, they are safer to take. Not always true, since they can still interact with Rx medications.
Have you been to the walk-in clinic yet?
