I really, really, hate to go to the doctors office but I will if I have to .. I guess. :)

Yesterday I had pain in my lower left side and left front area - it was awful! I almost went to the Dr but I didn't have a fever so thought I'd give it a few hours to see what happened.

I stayed in bed - with a heating pad on that side and drank glass after glass of water and cranberry juice. I also took tylenol a couple of times.

Today I woke up with that pain gone .. Thank GOD! .. but now it's in my lower back. It's still pretty painful but not as bad as when it was in my side. I can't stand for too long without needing to sit down so I think I'll just go back to bed.

Any ideas? Do I keep drinking fluids and flush whatever this is ... OUT of me? Or do you think it's something I need to see a Dr for. ??

Thanks!
