My Second Attack (June,10) hit me Square in my Lower back, My Muscles Felt SICK..but that never did go away for me til I had my Surgery in Sept.10, So I am Happy to Hear your is going away..I posted about it somewhere.
Yes...I was Constantly ANXIOUS...I Hated that.
Keep us Posted as to how your Doing !! Hugs !
I have told myself not to panic.....I can get very anxious, and this scares the daylights out of me. I am just a week now off of my Flagyl and Cipro, and I think I went overboard on the fiber these last few days. Tummy bothered me for a long while today but now I am feeling good.
I think if you begin feeling the back pain and the pain the abdomen, its time to get to the doc without procrastination. I have lower back issues but I felt the pain in the abdomen before the back pain hit. I hope this helps! I hate the anxiety this brings. Hugs to you!
