Just wanted to let everyone know that I went to the ER and they did a myriad of tests including an ultrasound, ECG, bloodwork, and urinalysis. Turns out the doctor believes that I have a kidney infection so was given pain meds and first dose of antibiotics intravenously. I was relieved that it was not an enlarged spleen, which is what I thought it might be. The hardest part of this was getting the IV in….it took 4 unsuccessful tries and 3 different nurses before they were finally able to find a vein.

Hi @kapow. Well, that was good news for you! Thank you for the update. It’s more reassuring to have these things checked out than to sit worrying and guessing. 😉 I’m glad it’s nothing major and hopefully the antibiotics bring you some relief.
