After a great days fishing on Saturday i have ended up with a back from hell. The pain i keep getting shooting up the spine is enough to make you scream. I think maybe i pulled a muscle or something as no matte r what position i sit or lay in i still get the pain and no matter what pain killer i take i can constantly feel it. All i can do is try and rest and wait until what ever muscle is playing up starts to ease. I am even getting pins and needles across the top of my back from shoulder to shoulder. Its a strange feeling but something that tells me i have hit a nerve or trapped something and that is why i am getting the pain.
From first thing on Sunday morning when i woke up i was getting the agonising pain and even when i walked over to my mothers for Sunday lunch my back was playing up. Each step i took seemed to send shocks up and down my spine. At least by the time i got home from my mothers the pain had eased off and i was starting to feel normal again. I will have to watch what i do in future as the back pain was quite strong and i honestly thought i had damaged a muscle or something and am so happy that it finally eased away.
It was then late evening, whilst sat at the computer browsing the internet, when suddenly i started to get sharp pains in my side. I first thought it was an after effect of the back pain i was getting and maybe i had bruised something. Then the pain started to get sharp each time i touched it and it feels inside the body and not towards the surface so i can’t just rub it better. I am now starting to think i have an infection and this is the early signs from the kidney to say it is working hard trying to fight what ever infection i have.
The reason i think i have infection is due to the abscess i had and thought that it had cleared away. I wasn’t getting any pain in the tooth and the swelling had completely gone. It was whilst at my mothers i started to feel like i had something stuck under my lip. As if i had forgotten to swallow a piece of meat and it was stuck behind the lip but when i used my tongue and finger to check there was nothing there. It was when i returned home and went to the bathroom mirror, pulled down my lip and saw what looked like a white head spot but it was on my gum under the tooth. When i squeezed it a load of poison came flooding out and washed down the drain in the sink. This tells me the infection is still there and that maybe i have now given myself a worst infection and the kidney is warning me about it.
It looks like i will have to make an emergency appointment at the doctors as i was woken up early this morning, not by the beast but by my side and back. No matter how i lay i could not get back to sleep so have had to sit up since 3.30 am and feel totally drained. My side is still slightly tender and i still keep getting sharp pains every now and again. There is no way i will get more rest until i get it sorted. Oh the joys! Even more tablets to start taking now. If i keep getting more medications i will rattle when i walk. At least i can say i have had a head pain free day yesterday but started getting shadows and small attacks early this morning so i am not sure if today will be pain free as well, i will just have to wait and see.
