about what is going on with me. I saw my doctor again today – for a follow-up. The pain meds was not giving me any relief during my times of pain.
Saturday it was pelvic area pain with a couple of lower back and lower ab area shooting pains…. I immediately went to the doc and he immediately thought it was a kidney stone. Advised drink, drink, drink. I drank 3 liters of water Saturday afternoon. Eek.
Sunday, didn’t have any major pain other than some sharp shooting pains, still in the pelvic region. I drank 2.5 more liters of water.
Monday, I called to make the follow-up appointment for today… No more pelvic pains. I was having serious back issues, really lower back, like on top of the tail bone. Twice, I couldn’t get out of my chair and had to go to my knees, crawl, then stand. Yeah, I felt stupid but had no choice. I drank 3 more liters of water.
Wow, that means as of this moment I’ve drank 9 liters of water since 1pm Saturday. Woah. I’ve never in my life drank so much water. I wanted to “flush” that stone out – or whatever… so made every effort to drink as much water as I could.
Today when I was at the doc – he said the area of pain seems much to low for stones… and if my pelvic pain is gone, I likely passed the stone. I have no idea.
Tomorrow AM I go in for xrays of my pelvic area and my lower spine/back. The xray folks had already left for the day, today. Tomorrow, If the xrays don’t give me any information – I must undergo an internal ultrasound, he said, because it may be an ovarian cyst. Ugh. I gave another urine sample today and he said everything was good – but I did have a slightly high white blood cell count and that usually means infection. He said he didn’t think I had an infection tho… but would send it off anyway to be sure – will take a couple of days to hear back.
So… I still don’t know what is going on, what was going on, or what will go on. I do know my lower back hurts so bad at times I can’t move. I didn’t have this over this weekend – so not sure if it’s related to the OMGosh-I-think-I’m-dying-Saturday-morning-rush-to-the-doctor deal.
Prayers much appreciated. Unknowing stinks and I am anti needle, anti doctor, anti everything pain related and dread going through whatever I may have to go through. Makes me nervous.
The good news I did hear – He told me to go have myself a DP – so that is what I did – went straight to Sonic when I left his office. =) Mm, it was delish. LOL I hadn’t had but like 3 sips of a Dr Pepper in 3 long days. Talk about headaches. Ugh.
Well, that’s it…
