This is the strangest infection i have ever had. I am getting pain just below the rib on my back on the right hand side in an area the size of a small potato. If i touch it gently it hurts like hell and when i leave it alone feels like a dull ache constantly. I also keep getting shooting pain in the same sort of area but feels slightly deeper and every now and again it takes my breath away as if i have been kicked in the family jewels (sorry but that’s how the pain and ache feels). But when i lay to sleep it eases off and i can sleep no problem and i can sit in certain ways and it will ease off and i don't have a problem but if i get up and move about or sit and do something the pain returns.
I went to the doctors and she did a test on my urine for the second time and checked me over and listened to my breathing etc. but there are no other signs of infection or a problem. She again said she could hear slight bubbling in my right lung which would suggest the presence of an infection and put me on another course of antibiotics and also some Paracetamol pain killers and sent me on my way. Now when i breathe in really deep, and i mean REALLY deep forcing myself to breathe a lot more than a normal person would, i can hear bubbling in my breath as if i had mucus on the chest but there's nothing there. Every now and again it becomes so shockingly painful it scares me and i think it is something a lot more serious as i am in so much pain and for me to say its as bad as my head attacks then you can imagine the level of pain it reaches but its only now and again like that.
I have had infections before but never on the chest or the lung so i don’t know what to expect or how it feels. All i do know is this is really painful and i have to try and keep as still as possible. I just wish the antibiotics start working soon as i don't know how much more i can take. I don’t have any fever any more like i did at the start of my infection. I can’t see the doctor being wrong as they know what to look for if it was something else and i have been worrying too much which is not good as it tends to set off my head attacks and brings on the beast. I was again woken at 3 am this morning by the beast due to the worry of the pain all night.
I had been lucky as i chose to have an early night yesterday as i had a feeling i might end up waking the beast with all the worry and stressing i was doing and now i am glad i did. There was no way i was going to get back to sleep with my back aching all the time but didn't have pain until around 5.30 am and that's when the sharp stabbing pain returned. Well it looks like a day of staying as still as possible and not move about as much as i did yesterday. If i have to go to shop over the next few days i will have to use the bus and not walk like i usually do despite busses setting of my head attacks i will just have to take my injections with me and hope for the best as i need to rest what ever it is causing the pain. I really hope this sorts itself out soon as i am taking enough medication as it is already i don’t need all these different tablets being added to the list all the time as i am starting to rattle.
