What Does Severe Lower Back Pain With Cold And Fever Without Curing From Tylenol And IBU Indicate?
My boyfriend and I have a cold that my daughter brought home. She was tested for influenza, strep and mono. All negative. He seems to be about a day ahead of me and he had what presented as kidney pain yesterday. I pushed the fluids and alternated IBU and Tylenol but nothing relieved the lower back pain. Today I have the same symptom! Can this be a symptom of the cold we have? Along with the normal upper respiratory symptoms, we both ran fairly high fevers. His reached 101.6 with Tylenol on board and mine was 102.9 before I took 800mg of IBU. I have been a nurse for 14 years now but I have never heard of this type of pain being associated with the common cold.
