Years ago, I was captive in the back seat of my inlaws car on a freeway in Florida when, outta the blue, I hollered "WHOA! Stop the car, I gotta go NOW!" My sweet little motherinlaw turns around, says "Here" and hands me a big wad of Kleenex she'd quick drawn from her purse.
She obviously saw my wide-eyed panic stricken, WTF?! look and quickly added "Squeeze this in your fist as hard as you can!" To my relief, the dire pangs subsided. They came back numerous times until my fatherinlaw could get off the freeway to a gas station, but squeezing the wad of tissue worked every time.
I discovered years later, in a similar situation, that, unless you've got long fingernails that you'll puncture yourself with, squeezing your empty fist works just as well.
Hope this helps.

I'll have huge forearms if I do that.
I spent several hours in the ER last night due to dehydration. I need to get to the botton of this. I see the doc. in about an hour. Man, you spend 5 hours in an ER, you see some crazy chit. Motorcycle accident, 16 y.o. girl beaten with a belt buckle...
