aleyampat 22 Posted June 25, 2012 So I bit the bullet and went to the ER today. I went out driving on Wednesday. I had been pretty pain free. By the time I got home I was in horrid pain. Each day the pain got a little worse. Today it was ridiculous. Burning pain in the upper left quadrant of my abdomen. Stabbing/burning pain in my left flank. Woke up with a temp of 99 when my norm is 97.2-97.4. I thought I might have a kidney infection or kidney stones. All my blood work and my CT came back normal. No signs of infection, abscess, surgical leaking, etc. It's all muscular they tell me. Believe me, I thank God for that. But how the heck am I supposed to live through this. I feel like I'm whining. The pain was much better and now it's almost the worst its ever been. I don't know what to do. I walk! I'm trying to be active! But I'm not comfortable unless I'm laying flat or standing tall and straight!! Ugh, any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
innerelease 32 Posted June 25, 2012 I'm so sorry you're feeling so awful if it's muscle maybe there's something your doctor can give you like a relaxer? I'm not really sure... Id call him though <3 I hope you feel better!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BBdoodle 483 Posted June 25, 2012 Cant they give you a muscle relaxer or something. You should not be allowed to be in that much pain. Your body does not heal if it is in pain. I would call and DEMAND something for the pain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aleyampat 22 Posted June 25, 2012 I'm headed to my family doctor in an hour. I'm asking for vicodin, toradol and a muscle relaxer. She's pretty good about giving me what I ask for. If she says no my surgeons nurse said to call back cause he'll write for more narcs and mobic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynn 49 Posted June 25, 2012 Hope u feel better soon. But the weried part is i woke up this morning and i was fine ate Breakfast then went for a walk. Then i sat down went to get up and got a sharp stabbing pain on my left side of stomach. Called dr but he is out......so got some rn that told me pick up pain medicine take it as needed and in two days come in if it isn't better. I have no fever not throwing up and still getting fluids and Protein in. So hopefully it is a pulled muscle like the rn thinks. But wow am i in pain.

aleyampat 22 Posted June 26, 2012 That's what mine is like in the front. Sharp burning stabbing pain. Very pinpoint. Feels like I'm being repeatedly stung...... Went to my family doc. She gave me everything I wanted. Love, love, love her:) The Mobic is kicking butt so far. Haven't even taken the vicodin or muscle relaxer:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynn 49 Posted June 26, 2012 It is so weried ....how do we pull a muscle there??? Well the pain meds help but i took them and then went night night woke back up in pain took some more just waiting for it to kick in. I am lucky all three kids have summer school or i would have to find someone to watch them if all i am going to do is sleep.

Panda 354 Posted June 26, 2012 What about massage therapy. Massaging the muscle helps waaay more than any pain reliever. The muscle may have a knot or kink or something. Possibly even try rubbing it with a muscle rub yourself... Sent from my Nexus S 4G using RNYTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
