Lower Back Pain And Other Symptoms... Posted: 10-15-03 15:56pm
Hey all! Apparently something happened
to my other post, so i'll retype it. I'm
17 years old and I have been experiencing
lower back pain that reaches down to my
buttox since friday afternoon. I thought
it was perhaps something that I did by
accident to my back muscles. The
following morning I noticed that there was
bright red blood in my stools. I started
to worry then. Over the next few days it
turned to a dark red. I would of liked
to of called my doctor, but it was
saturday. So I made the appointment for
yesterday (tuesday). I told him about
the problems and immediately his eyebrows
raised. He then wanted a urine sample
and gave me a three stool test/lab that I
am to bring back to him. So now, I was
afraid that it was kidney failure. Later
that day around 2pm I started to get a
headache which turned into a fever and
only started to subside around 8pm and
took until 12pm. At the same time I
started to get a headache, the pain in my
lower back started to go away (at least,
to the point where it's almost dull).
Around 6:40pm I urinated and noticed that
it was cloudly/milky, as if it was a
urinary tract infection, I hope. That
was some relief. Around 7:00 I began to
feel nauseous. That lasted until around
1030/1100pm and never vomitted. Around
9/10pm I went to urinate, again, and
discovered that the urine was starting to
bubble/foam up. That shot fear up my
spine, but then I remembered I had ate
chicken for dinner, so hopefully it's just
the chicken proteins cause it was
cloudly/milky before. Today, I woke up
and am still discovering that I am
urinating and still is bubbling/foaming.
Again, hopefully that's just because I
haven't flushed the proteins of the
chicken out. Through all this I have yet
to notice anykind of blood or dark color
to the urine.
My question is.. If it's a urinary tract
infection, how come my stools contain
blood? I don't recall straining on the
toilet or of the such. And why is it
lasting for more than just a few days?
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
