Just to be clear where it is too...

It is right where the "c" is located.

Could it be one of these?

There's been enough discussionn from U.S. forumites here, both great and not so good health care experiences in the U.S. in these forums over the past few years.

I'm experiencing now the 3rd health care system: Alberta. Thank goodness I have a family doctor that I like who gives me as much explanation as she can. Ontario covered first 40 years of my life, thereafter Vancouver area. Alberta's system includes paying very high dental fees....there's no cap on dental fees here, whereas in Ontario and B.C. there is.

Hope you get better bathing soon.

I don't know. Second doctor today, still no answer. He thinks it's just irritated and will go down. And if it had only been going on for a week, I'd be more apt to believe that. Hopefully it will simply go away, but it would be nice to know the cause so I can prevent it in the future.

As I mentioned, my opinion has nothing to do with cost. Purely level of care. And I'm not comparing from province to province. I have no personal experience with other provinces. They could be very different. But I do have a lot of experience with California health care vs. BC. That's my comparison. I've had too many injuries over the years! haha. Though age has certainly brought on a lot more caution. I don't know how I made it through my youth!

Thanks! I hope it goes away and stays away. And ideally I can figure out what caused it.

Thanks for the suggestions ladies!
