Suffering very badly here.....

What the hell? Nobody should assume they had CV19! Get tested. Yeah, it might be a hassle, it might take some doing, but it serves a purpose both for a personal course of action and accurate public health stats.

Bloodwork all looked good? What does that mean, relative to CV19? Were you even checked for it?

Update: Bloodwork all looked good and back xrays showed nothing new.....had curvature of the spine since childhood and got a worn disc or two....nurse applied the icy hot patch and doc wouldn't give me a pain killer cuz of my gut issues....said to follow up with my GP.....did that today and she suggested taking the Arthritis pain otc instead of tylenol.....I think that patch did something to quiet down my aching and pain spasms cuz I had only one today instead of 10.....gp is mailing me a script for physical therapy (how social distancing is gonna work will be interesting), and maybe a CT scan will be ordered up.... and if after doing that with no better results, then she suggested shots in back from the brain and back clinic here.....
oh happy day, oh happy day 🎶😒

Oh wow ! You're really suffering Pops, I'm sorry that you're going through so much pain. It's no fun at all, I know , I've had long term back pain, and many cortecosteroid injections over the years having herniated lower discs... but with your curvature of the spine it must be far more painful for you. I feel for you because you lose your quality of life when in so much pain.. :(

They don't test us for it here unless you're doc says you need to.....there's no random requests for it at this time, and I didn't go to the ER for that Treeguy.

Yes, quality of life goes down to zero many times over Holly....I might be headed in that direction with the shots, ugh....
 
Hate to say it but it seems like the only good thing that came outta all that testing was the icy hot patch....my back pain has simmered down considerably since then and I'm using the roll on now, but ordered more patches for back up.....hope it keeps working.

Afraid I don't understand. Your symptoms were all over the place. You went to see a doctor. Were I your doctor, and had been told what you had gone through, I sure as hell would have ordered the cv19 test, no doubt about it.
 
I am very sorry you've been struggling so much, and having such pain, @PopsnTuff :(

I don't know how, but I missed seeing this thread, for the past few days, it appears!
