Pain, Pain, Pain

June 26th I noticed that below my right ear was swollen and hurt slightly. I didn't think much of it just thought it was a ear infection. So I called and set up a appointment to see the Dr. on the 30th. By the 30th I was in terrible pain and could barley move my neck. It swelled up quite a bit. I went to my scheduled appointment. The Dr. said it wasn't a ear infection but I had a infected lymph nodes. She took some blood, gave me some penicillin and pain stuff and sent me on my way. I made a follow up appointment for the 2nd.

On the 2nd the Dr. said that all my blood work came back normal so the penicillin wouldn't treat the infection she thought I had. So she then decided to give me bactrim and to call back and set a appointment if things worsen or didn't improve with the next 10 days.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly. The infection seemed to be going away.

Then BAM on the 11th the pain worsen and I started to swell on my left side also along my neck. The right side started to swell all over again as well. I couldn't even move my neck with out wanting the cry. The pain was ruthless.

So I called the Dr. and was able to set a appointment for the 14th.

So yesterday I went to the Dr. she takes one look at me and says there is nothing more she can do for me and I would have to see a throat, ear and neck specialist.

So I paid the Dr. to tell me this, very lame. At least she refiled my pain scripts which was very much needed at this point.

So now I'm just waiting for the specialist to call me. Yeah.... a very big bummer. I've been indoors out of the sun and not drinking since the 30th.
