Question: Hi,
I had previously been on this website asking a question regarding a new sexual partner. We had protected sex but during our encounter the condom slipped off and ended up getting stuck inside me. When this happened, he had not ejaculated at all but this is really worrying me. The next day, literally 12 hours later I began to feel the worse back pain ever and there was heat radiating from my mid-back to my upper back and neck. I could have injured it during our sexual encounter since I did have pain in the middle of my back on my spine when I would touch it. I did feel a bump and it was really painful. The pain lasted almost two weeks but I'm really worried it could be something else. It has been exactly 2 weeks since my sexual encounter and I'm beginning to feel other symptoms now. A few days ago, 3 days to be exact I began to feel knee pain which i have never experienced before. Then after that, the knee pain would come and go for about 2 days. That got better then I began to feel pain on my teeth and shoulders and neck. I have never experienced anything like this before. Not sure what is going on.. I'm extremely worried!!!!! My back pain has gotten better and no longer hurting however, I do feel heat from time to time. I have gotten a urine test to test possible STD's and those came back negative. However, I did have a bladder infection which I received antibiotics for. I don't have any other symptoms expect those that I described when I feel the pain in those areas, I sometimes begin to feel a little bit warm on my face and my forehead feels hot. It's like having a flushed feeling on my face which doesn't last too long. I haven't had any other symptoms except those that I have described but I'm feeling so lost and worried. I made an appointment with my primary doctor and I'm expected to see her on April 8th. Until then, my mind seems to keep making me think the worse and I'm very worried, Please help!!

Hi Dr. Tayal,
Thank you so much for your response. I have been so worried that I even lost sleep for a few days. My back has gotten so much better almost close to no pain but my shoulders, my teeth and my knees are hurting. What really concerned about these pains is that I have never experienced these symptoms before. The sexual encounter I had worried me since literally 12 hrs later my back began to hurt. Then after my back these pains began. I will have my physical next week Friday on April 8th but at least now I have some piece of mind. What worries me is that all these issues happened after that sexual encounter. Prior to that, I never had these problems. I know I'm stressed out and that can be triggering the symptoms even more, but it just seems so odd for my body to be feeling this way. I'm only 31 years old and have been healthy prior to this. Thanks so much for your answer, please let me know what others thoughts you may have of this..

Thank you again for your wonderful advise, it's greatly appreciated and helpful. I'm doing my best to not over worry, but it is so unfortunate this happened to me shortly after and that's what made me worry. If this encounter would of never occurred, I would have more peace of mind. For now until my appointment date, I'm taking ibuprofen 600mg as needed. Thank u Dr. Tayal.
