So I have had this random pain in my right side for the last 2 1/2-3 weeks. Its mostly on my right side of my lower back and sometimes travels around. It was letting up alittle bit but this past friday hit me hard again. I have no health insurance and just couldn't take it anymore. I had to call off work twice over the weekend and then yesterday was sent home early because I wasent much use. So I got my paycheck and decided I will spend the $64+ to see the doctor today. So I have to be there in an hour. Im just hoping its a bad kidney infection and not something worse. I know a kidney infection doesent sound great but I had a mild one before and I would rather have that then something else. Im not tender on my front but I am on my back. So we will see *sigh* I hate the doctor.

So could I get some good vibes that its nothin too serious that will land me in the hospital please!?
Im scared.

Well im back. He wasent too sure whats wrong. In my Urine test he found blood, white blood cells, and bateria. So he is going to send it out for a culture. But he thinks it could just be a bad infection so he put me on this medication for 5 days to see if I improve. So really not the most comforting news in the world

I really really hope not! I am terrified of that being the answer. But he didn't seem too worried.

Yikes! Almost sounds like a bad kidney infection...though I've never heard of them traveling. Usually it just feels like you got punched in your mid-lower back.

What ever it is, sounds infectious! I'm sure the antibiotics will help
