Sunday I woke up in a lot of pain which got worse as the day progressed. At first I thought I had an ovarian cyst or twisted ovary. The pain got so bad that I was shaking and crying. I have a high pain threshold and have given birth with no pain relief and coped with appendicitis pain in the past…this was way worse. I ended up having to go to A&E in an ambulance and was given the maximum amount of morphine by the ambulance crew before being taken. Once at A&E my pain was some what under control and I was totally spaced out on the morphine. I was left to join the queue of people in A&E which wasn’t the best experience. I had bloods taken and had to wait a few hours to be seen. When I was examined by the doctor I was still pretty drugged up from the morphine so he recorded that my pain was mild. My bloods didn’t show anything major, my white blood cells were raised but other markers were not. The doctor said I probably have a uti or kidney infection. I have had UTI’s before but nothing that felt this painful, no temp, heart rate and oxygen normal. I was sent home with 7 days of antibiotics.
I’m now on day 3 of antibiotics and I still have some pain (not as painful as Sunday but uncomfortable). I’m not sleeping well and waking up feeling like I’m having a panic attack. I definitely don’t feel myself. I’m cold all the time and feeling dizzy. I’m booked in for another blood test Friday to see if there’s any late indications of infection other than the white blood cells.
Pain was in my lower right side, lower back and radiating down my thighs. I really did think it was ovarian pain. There was pain when went to the loo but not uti type pain. A few people have suggested Kidney stones but I’m unsure.
Do I just carry in with the antibiotics and see how I am when they finish? Do I wait and see what shows up in my bloods? I can’t seem to access my blood results from Sunday on NHS app.
Do I make a GP appointment and ask their opinion?
