    As a former US Marine and triathlete: PAIN. I was trained to ignore it. Recently, I was really sick, but I muscled through the pain. It wasn't until my SO took me to the ER that I realized how much of an issue it was. The doctors (yes, plural) told me not to let it get anywhere that bad. I could have potentially had some significant lifelong issues had I waited longer.

    Edit: I ended up having a week long stay at the hospital.
