Ever found out you had a disease/infection through marijuana?
Well, I am sort of in the same situation here as some of you, although im not sure its MJ related... :jointsmile: I went to the dr about a month ago with fairly bad stomach pains and some constipation. Urgent care diagnosed me with an impacted bowel, gave me some laxatives and sent me on my way.
I followed up with my primary care dr a couple days later and informed him of some pain I was having in my groin as well. He ended up diagnosing me with epididymitis, which is an inflammation of the sperm duct. He put me on antibiotics which didnt help. After a week of not getting better on two types of antibiotics he sent me to a urologist.
The urologist took a look at me and said I actually had prostatitis, an infection of the prostate. :wtf: Infection of the prostate? At 22? Ok... So he put me on a different set of antibiotics for 6wks. I am now almost 3 weeks in and am not really seeing improvement. Not only am I still having pain in my groin, but abdominal discomfort and nausea as well. The antibiotics have caused me to have almost no appetite, which is horrible because I have to eat with these pills. I have lost over 15lbs, and at 6'2 180lbs I dont have much to be giving away..
They did some blood work 2 days ago and everything came back normal, but my doctor said it is not abnormal for stuff like this not to show up. The thing that concerns me is that if I had a bacterial infection, I should have a raised white blood cell count (which I didnt). If I dont have a bacterial infection, all the antibiotics in the world arent going to help me.
Now I am having this weird pain/discomfort in my neck. I feel sort of a pressure on the left side of my neck, a little above my adams apple. It almost feels like that tendon that runs from the front to the side of your neck is getting pulling too tightly, or something.. Related? Who knows..
I search for my symptoms online and see tons of hits for lymphoma and all sorts of things that get my heart racing. But then half of the time I feel like I am just being a hypochondriac. I try not to read too much online because I just freak myself out more.. :hippy:
