Update on things...
I just wanted to give you an update. I went to see my gp (general practitioner) today for separate issue and over the wknd I've developed chills and muscle spasms in my arms and legs. She asked about urinary issues and whether I go to the bathroom a lot...weird that she even inquired...so she ran a urine test and turns out I have a urniary tract infection. The fear with this is it can travel quickly to spinal fusion which it REALLY feels like it has. My back pain has worsened everyday for the last several weeks and feels like a balloon is blown up inside pressing on each side of my spine. It's so painful to be sitting and worse standing. I have a had constant headaches as well for last two weeks. Surgeons office finally called back today at 3pm after several days of phone tag. I told her the story and she just said to take the antibiotics and call them back in 5 days when antibiotics are finished. So if it's not doing better by Thursday I'm calling or going to ER bc I'm done messing with this. It's so frustrating when they don't take you seriously. I just wish people would listen. Sorry for the vent I am just so overwhelmed right now. Thank you all SO MUCH for you replies. This forum really is a God-send!
