Sewbizgirl, I have had soooo many of those. . , I have lost count! All discomfort goes away within a couple of days. Both parents died of colon cancer. Brother and sisters of Father's also died of colon cancer. So have five of Aunt Lelia's 13 children. I took out cancer insurance while I was teaching and still carry it. Of the 13 cousins, just two were older than I am, so age does not seem to matter. It may or may not kill me, might be an accident in traffic or who knows???? so I refuse to be gloom about it. One step at a time or one day at a time. I choose to be upbeat and happy for today.
Find the problem, study what to do for the problem, then decide what to do with problem.
