Update on my pain/discomfort

Well, went to the dr. She doesn't think it's anything surgery related; no intestinal problems, stones or whatsoever. She's running labs and urine; she thinks my floater ribs are bruised; maybe from sleeping or working out; told me to take Celebrex for 3 days; if I don't see it getting better, then she'll send me for a cat scan but really feels it's nothing but the ribs. She pressed and squeezed everywhere and gave me a thorough exam. I'm just relieved it's nothing surgery related nor stones; she said she'll test the urine, I could have a UTI or kidney/bladder infection. I'm just relieved I don't have twisted intestines or something that would cause me to go back in for surgery. It's a big relief. Thanks everyone, for your support!

I am so glad it is nothing that you have to go back in for. PHEW!!! Get some rest and hopefully the new medicines will take care of it for you. I just had a UTI and I had pain that I was a tad worried about but once the meds kicked in I felt a ton better so maybe it is just that. Keep us updated. Big Hugs, Melissa

Michelle, I'm glad she's checking the urine. I went in last month thinking that I was having gall bladder or appendix issues and it wound up being a simple UTI. I hope your issue is that minor! ~Beth

Hi Michelle!! Glad to see you got everything checked out!! Hope it turns out to be something simple like a UTI....easy fix!!!! Take care you!!! Susan

That is such great news, Michelle. I bet you are so relieved. Hope all the labs turn out ok. How are you feeling today? Please keep us posted on what you hear. Hugs, Tabby

Thanks Tabby! I took Celebrex lastnight, but didn't notice any pain relief; but luckily the pain is completely bearable, just 'there'. Hopefully it will start to go away by the end of the weekend; and hopefully my test results will come back today. I'll keep you posted for sure!

Michelle, I'm so happy you've had a negative visit w/ your Dr. Hopefully she'll find that it is just a uti, that can be treated so easily w/ antibiotics. Keep us posted on your test results. Donna, sfy
