Well that was embaracing

Last night we went to an awesome fireworks display event - we had a great time but JUST before the fire works started I got the most horrendous pain in my back which then moved into under my ribs in the front and then into my chest - so hubby went and got the St johns ppl (against my wishes) so they took me over to their event van and checked me out ,my pulse was racing and the pain was horrible. Anyway in the end they called an ambulance which they met half way back to town and I transferred into that. Anyway after 5 hours in A&E (not a bad wait for a Saturday night) they concluded that I either had a bad kidney infection or a kidney stone. So I have to go back to my GP on Monday - but it was all a bit over dramatised I was really embarrassed to have wasted so many peoples time but I was glad it was nothing worse than what it was.

(((((hugs))))) I know what that pain feels like, absolutely awful and so overwhelming. Look after yourself hun, and don't listen to the nasties on the TMMB! Hope you are feeling better now.

Could it have been gall stones? That sounds a lot like the pain associated with that (I should know!) And having had fatty food after not having it for a while could have upset your gall bladder. Just a thought! Hope you're feeling better.
