so Nov2017 i started to get a burning sensation(not severely painful, but its not normal feeling), plus aches in my kidneys... when i urinated.
i went to my MD he ran all the blood tests and pee tests and everything came out perfect(blood tests) and negative on any infections on urine tests(kidneys good). So my doc prescibed me some anti-bioitics for safe measure in case there was a urinary tract infection.. said to come back when i finished the medicine...
so two weeks later i come back to him and told him im still getting that burning feeling when i urinate and NOW when i ejaculate...so he ran more tests.. everything comes out negative(for anything abnormal)...im normal.. so he prescribes me a different type of anti-biotics.. once again for safe measures.
so 2-3 weeks pass by and nothing has changed after that other round of antibiotics.. so i decided to go to another MD(to get a second opinion) covered by my insurance.. he ran the same tests and i showed him pics of the medicine bottles i was prescribed by the other MD..so he prescribed me bactrim for 20 days...
he said if i dont see a difference then he will refer me to a specialist..Urologist...but the last time i saw him i told him i started to get unbearable lower back pains where i couldnt walk.(i have a high tolerance for pain, this i couldnt take it). he said it could be one of two things... 1) enlarged prostate(pushing against the lower back) or 2) bulged or herniated disk putting pressure on those nerves that co-relate to the urinary tract system.
so the specialists....because im a new patient its a long wait.. i will see the back doc next Thursday and the urologist end of the month.
the pain radiates all over my body... left rib, right rib, kidney areas, groin areas...so now i've become...whats the word?? pessimistic or just a overall negative feeling these guys wont find the problem...
my buddy had the same problem with chest pains that all these docs couldn't find the problem or cause of his chest pains.. so he just said fuck it.. he went to the ER and told him chest pains and they ran every test that night on him and ended up finding the problem.. was over 30k which his insurance only covered half, because it was a non ER visit in their eyes... he told me to do the same thing.... my insurance will cover 100% ER visit if it is at all costs a ER visit(that there is no other option), but if you could wait and see a doc they will only cover half...due to non emergency.
its came to a point from so many failed attempts by docs(since Nov 2017) that ive became depressed about the whole ordeal...suicide has actually crossed my mind, due to the pain.... what would you guys do in this situation? i can literally feel my body melting away...i stopped working out 2 months ago due to the back pain... this past week i said fuck it and started to take some pain meds(friends RX) to get me working out again. im not looking for any ones sympathy... i just would like to hear your thoughts or what your actions would be. thx
