If I could get some help, I would really appreciate it. I don't like going to the doctors, especially on work time, but I just might have to for this. I'm not sure if all of the symptoms are related, but they may be; you never know.


These are the symptoms I've got:

1. Very sore lower back (from hips to about 1/3 up the back)
2. When pressure is applied, sore lymph nodes (I believe) under chin
3. Woke up with terrible headache (felt like it was right behind or in my eyes)
4. Woke up with a 101.2 degree fever
5. Gums are a little touchy, but very touchy in front and in back of my two top front teeth (feel like it's scratched up from eating rough food; it's difficult to brush those two teeth)
6. Sore throat from drainage


Explanation for the symptoms:

1. My lower back was slightly sore on Sunday and very sore yesterday and today. I went ice skating Saturday afternoon, but only for about an hour and I've never had this type of pain from ice skating before (though I don't skate often).

2. I just realized that my lymph nodes are sore when I scratched under my chin, so I'm not sure how long that's been going on.

3. I get pretty frequent headaches, but when I woke up it was an absolutely terrible headache. I've gotten a CT Scan in the past for my headaches and they found nothing abnormal, and my eye prescription is updated.

4. Took my temperature with our medical thermometer at home this morning (the under the tongue kind) and was running a 101.2 fever as mentioned. I started sweating while getting ready in the bathroom for work, and slightly again while waiting in the car for it to warm up (it's only 23 degrees out here in Michigan).

5. If I remember correctly, I may have scratched my gums with a crunchy edge of a burger on Sunday night, but I'm not 100% positive. And, if so, I figured my gums would've healed up by now.

6. I just had common cold symptoms last week and got rid of the cold, that was between Tuesday and Friday. My sore throat started kicking back up again yesterday morning (Monday).
