I was going to try and make a come back since I just sort of disappeared on you guys when I got sick (sorry bout that btw), but my mom's gonna be limiting my time majorly cause I'm sick again. I started havin bad back pains that my mom took me to the doc for today when the pain was going down into my leg, and the doc thinks I've got a kidney stone, so I'm actually sneaking on right now while mom's at the store...so yeah, sorry guys!

Well I'm still waiting on test results to see if it is a kidney stone. They've got me on 2 different painkillers that I'm to take when and if needed. I'm at the point now, even though it's only been a day since I got the meds, I wake up and have to take one then within 5 or 6 hours, if even that long before it wears off, I've gotta take another one. Think it was about 4 hours after I took one this morning that I had to take another one, so I'm not sure what I'm gonna do about school and everything *shrugs*

Be careful with them painkillers you don't want to OD on them, maybe take 2 a day, don't over do it.

I'm not gonna OD...one of them says 3 times daily as needed for pain, the other says every 6 hours as needed. They're not really doing anything as it is *shrugs* I go back to the doc tomorrow afternoon for a follow up...I guess tests and stuff to see if we can figure out if it's a pulled muscle, kidney stone, or something else.

Okie dokie, figured I post sort of like an update besides just in the C-Box xD Went to the doctor, had an ultrasound on my kidneys that came back clean, had x-rays on my hips and lower spine which came back fine, had a CT Scan on my spleen which was fine, and was finally recommended to go to an orthopedic. Orthopedic...I will tell you this, was painful But he took me off of the pain killers, told me to take my muscle relaxer, take Naproxen, and stuff like that. I take the Naproxen for the next 2 weeks along with doing physical therapy twice a week for 2 weeks, then I go back on the 17th for a follow up, and if I'm not better by then, I go to have an MRI done. He thinks, because of my having mono since it could cause this, he believes my facet joints in my back are inflamed which is causing my problem with behind, twisting, sitting, standing, laying down, stretching, all of that jazz. He has me on the ant-inflammatory (Naproxen) to ease the inflamation and the PT to loosen my muscles since my back muscles have tightened and stuff in response to the facet joints being inflamed, so basically I'm screwed for at least another few weeks...I'm hoping on two or three, but it might go to a month The orthopedic said it's very rare for my age, but it is possible cause of the mono. So basically I've got temporary arthritis to be blunt. My first PT seesion in Wednesday afternoon, so we'll see how it goes then.

I've seen 2 different therapists so far and both of them think that it's a disc issue, so if that's the case then I'm gonna need surgery most likely. I go back to the orthopedic on Friday and if I'm still not any better which I'm not now but yeah, then he'll order a MRI and we'll see from there if it is a disc or not. If it is, I'll let y'all know cause I'll probably need a week or two off cause of the surgery if I need it which I most likely will in the case of a disc problem.
