While I was at work last night and after walking, I immediately had a sharp and at times intense pain in my lower left side. I thought right away "Oh no, here we go again, probably kidney stones." As the minutes clicked away towards 7pm when I got off, I knew I had to be seen somewhere to have it checked out.
I opted for Convenient Care, they determined I didn't have kidney stones or bladder infection. I had tried to tell them that over and over. I have had much experience with both and I am very familiar with the pain and uncomfortableness with both. They came back and told me they think I have diverticulitis.
Finding someone that would/could get my antibiotic proved to lead me to one dead end after the other. Luckily I was able to find the very antibiotic that I was prescribed in my cabinet from last year, but not past the expiration date. Took that and we will see what happens from there. If I am not any better in a few days I am supposed to have a CT scan done of my abdomen. The fun never stops I tell ya.
Today I had bouts of pain and then I would be fine, I am not sure I believe the diverticulitis diagnosis, but will keep on top of this if the pain intensifies. I appreciate the texts and emails I received. My friends really are the best!!
