    Default Something is wrong with me

    I have had back pain on and off for months now. Yesterday it got pretty severe. I took the max amount of Ibuprofen. I had a client with extra long hair and couldn't finish her. I started feeling really out of it and like I was going to collapse. I went home. I have been in the bed on and off since. I can stay up and have energy for about thirty minutes after I rest/sleep for a couple of hours. Then I start having pain, chills and fatigue. I've been to the doctor before for this and they said my white blood cell count was low. I have had other blood work done and it's not my thyroid. My back is hurting worse than ever now and my abdomen is swollen. I am going back to the doctor today. This is bizarre to me any ideas?

    No clue Back pain sucks, it always seems like it will never fully go away.

    Was your pain caused by an accident/event or did it just happen? If it was just an injury I swear physical therapy does wonders but the other side effects make it seem like its much more. Maybe the back pain could be like your kidneys depending on where its located? Glad you are going to a doctor though.

    I'm no nurse though. I've just been through major back injuries and therapy and it still hurts years later.

    Best wishes though.

    Thanks Kat. I don't think it's injury related because it comes with fatigue and chills. I hurt all over but the back hurts the wrose. It seems like I should know more being that I was a nurse but the symptoms are sort of bizarre. I don't have urinary symptoms either.

    I have no clue but I'm glad you're going to the doctor today. Make sure you tell him/her just like you told us so that he/she doesn't try to brush it off...you know how doctors can be. I had to see a chiropractor before and when I told him how bad my arm and my back hurt he said it was contributed to a vertabrae that was misaligned. They said that each vertabrae controls different parts of your body and can cause different parts to hurt along with your back/neck. Hopefully it's nothing serious and you just need a good alignment. Let us know what they say.

    That sounds like it may be an autoimmune problem, like fibromyalgia or CFS.

    I hope not! Those really suck. It's also possible what TheLioness says above, referred pain etc. Don't let them give up until they find out what's ailing you. Good luck.

    I went today and he said it seemed to be related to the mono I had twice last year. He thinks it's the remains of that. He gave me prednisone to take. I am not fond of taking it but he said it would clear everything up. He said I also needed to take iron because I am slightly anemic. If I am not better by Tuesday then I go back.

    Good luck at the doctor and feel better soon. You can take acetaminophen (tylenol) and ibuprofen (advil) together, just so you know...

    Hope you start feeling better soon. I have no idea what it is. The back pain may not be back pain but kidney pain. I have no idea since I'm no doctor. Hope they find out whats up.

    Tell him to check you for a kidney infection, aka pissing in a cup.

    Even if he asks about change in your urine and you haven't had it, tell him to check anyways. This is EXACTLY what happened when I got SERIOUSLY sick.

    If your doctor doesn't figure out something fast, go to the ER. If it's in your lower back, it could be your kidneys and thats serious.

    Glad you're feeling better. Did he prescribe an iron supplement? I forgot to send you a list of the supplements that I take, but Slow FE (iron) is one of them. I also take a multi with iron in it. I was feeling pretty rotten for a while and once they said my iron was low and told me to take Slow FE, I have been feeling much better, especially energy.

    I hope the Prednisone clears everything up for you. It seems like that mono has taken it's toll on you. I pray that it goes away and stays away
