Hi Candice,
I am sorry for the pain you had last night.
It could be related to:
- primary problem for which you were prescribed Bactrim
- lack of nutrients like calcium, magnesium especially if you suffered of lack of appetite recently
- exposure to cold temperature or fan/aircon
I advise to:
- increase fluids
- take multivitamins supplements containing calcium, vit D and magnesium
Wish fast recovery.
