Hi everyone I’m desperately looking for advice or experiences from anyone who’s been through this or may know?
So nearly 2 months ago I went to my GP with awful back pain, fever, chills, headache etc. I got diagnosed with a kidney infection. After my course of antibiotics I felt fine but the back pain was still there, since then it’s been getting worse and worse to the point right now it’s a very severe pain - I can’t bend down or do anything without being in agony! I’m only 20 years old so I should not be getting back pain like this. I’ve just got back from my gp again today, she felt my back and where about it’s hurting and just told me she thinks it’s muscular and to take ibrufen and wait for it to go. My question is , if it came on with a kidney infection how could it be muscular pain now? She even said I was too young to be getting muscular back pain this bad. I’m worried that if it is my kidneys still then I’m leaving it too long to get it sorted out! (She took a urine infection today which was fine) I’m at my wits end the pain is so bad!!! Sorry for the long post but was just wondering if anyone had been through this before? Thanks
