Have I Been Spared?

Well, the doctor gave me an evaluation that had two probable outcomes: either I have a kidney stone, or I have a seriously inflammed muscle. He couldn't say for sure simply because of the kind of pain I seemed to be having, the intensity, and the location of it. Right now, I'm just uncomfortable -- which, if memory serves, did happen first at least one time when I was attempting to pass my stone last time. Well, I'm not too concerned yet, but I'm not ruling anything out -- and neither is the doctor. He gave me 3 prescriptions: one for everyday use that helps with the pain, an anti-inflammatory for bedtime, and some general pain pills just in case I do have a stone and it begins to move and cause problems over the next week. I seriously pray that this all goes away because I do not want to go through that again. Check back with me next week to see how this is progressing.
