It's basically what some ER nurse told me, not unless 'things get worse' or in other words it's not severe enough.

So how do I know if it's time to go in instead of waiting? And when it's okay to worry about it? (cuz I don't want to be made fun of for making a big deal out of something that isn't.) We're approaching a weekend and my regular doc isn't there on Fridays. So even if it isn't severe enough for an ER visit, do I chance it over the weekend and wait until next week to see my regular doc????? How do I know what's the right thing to do?
