I seriously feel so disheartened and don't know what to do anymore. I wrote here recently that i had really bad gyno pain, pulling sensation in ovaries, bloating, discharge, pelvic pain, cramps, gas, and lower back pain (sorry tmi). My pain got so bad at the weekend that i went to the ER.
They were very thorough to be fair and did a well woman exam (only found yeast), blood tests (only found low pottasium and one number higher in wbc from range (so said it wasn't really showing high elevated levels), and they even did a pelvic and stomach ct to give me peace of mind and that found nothing either. Also a urine test that found nothing but microscopic blood in my urine which i have had for a while now and i am not sure what causes it. They then gave me: flagyl, azithro and a shot of rocephin in my behind to cover any possible bacterial infection below and the yeast overgrowth.
This helped some of the pain subside, but today my back pain is so severe and the only way i can describe it is it feels like something is severely pressing on it, bubbling sensation in lower back, and tugging sensations too. I am wondering if the shot in my behind irritated my back pain even more for some reason. I have taken ibuprofen and nothing helps. I am so miserable. Back pain used to come and go but now it is constantly and so painful. Any ideas? frown emoticon I am starting to wonder if this is going to impact my mobility that as it hurts so much. I am so concerned that shot hit something in my back it shouldn't have

- So, five or so days ago you got the shot but don't say the injection point hurt at that time.
I do not think it was the needle at all, then. I've had shots that hit a nerve and I knew it at the moment it happened.
Rocephin can be a painful shot, though, and ache afterward if they did not gently massage the area afterward to work it into the tissue, so to speak.
You could be having some residual pain just from the pool of Rx if it did not get absorbed gently.
If this might be kidney related, the ibuprofen could be the worst thing to do as it can cause kidney damage.
There are likely reasons for this but my hands have to keep this short. Posture, shoes, be sure to consider all that, too.
Are you taking magnesium? Three or four x day?
The low potassium could have something to do with it. Are you eating foods with good potassium content often? -

- You say:
"They then gave me: flagyl, azithro and a shot of rocephin in my behind to cover any possible bacterial infection below and the yeast overgrowth." (end quote)
Nothing there is antifungal. Be sure you are also taking antifungal measures.
I am amazed they gave you all that. Not sure if you were taking any antibiotics before but all that at once, if you were not, could cause a huge herx and lots of pain.
Be sure you are taking good liver support such as Milk Thistle and drinking enough water. -

They did rub the area and it did have the burning for a while which then went off, but where the shot was performed is sore (they also did it right above my butt not in the actual cheek?) I guess i was concerned something messed with my spine.
I thought flagyl helped with yeast.

- Flagyl helps with protozoa and can help offset the cystic form of lyme in the presence of antibiotics.
Flagyl can address bacterial vaginosis and that is likely why they gave it to you with pelvic pain - just in case you had a bacterial infection.
But it is not going to prevent candida. Other things are needed for that. -

- Three days after the shot. Are are taking those other two as pills, still?
If not, and all you got was this trio of Rx, it could be that it all just wore off now. Or whatever the underlying cause has just flared?
Sorry I can't be of more help.
How much and what kind of magnesium are you taking? As that is THE most important thing you can do right now.
What measures did they give you to get your potassium up to normal? Low potassium can cause terrible muscle pain. But supplementing that needs to be done VERY carefully. Specific foods may be best if it's not too low. But some kind of definitive action is required. -

I forgot to mention they also gave me 2 potassium pills. They gave me all meds at the ER. I am not on anything now.
