Are Excruciating Low Back And Abdominal Pain Related To Increased WBC And Low Potassium ?
Question, I went to the ER on Friday night for excruciating low back and abdominal pain. They did a CT scan and nothing stood out. They said my white blood count was high and my potassium was low. They gave me 3 different doses of pain meds which I ended up having an allergic reaction to. They gave me bendryl and told me to f/u with Dr Monday. My Doctor was on vacation and they are putting me in with her partner. Still same symptoms and pain. Starting a little of the chills this aft. It is the end of the day and she hasn t called back. Does that mean they don t have all info together yet? I really don t want to take another trip to the ER again.
