Thanks, Alan. I have not had a CT scan. I go for another urine test on Dec. 21. He has had me on 30 days of Trimethorprim 100 mg. tablets x twice a day. He said he wants to see me 2 weeks after antibiotics to check for blood in urine.
He wanted me to keep this appt. even though he has me scheduled for the urine sample for the urine cytology on Jan. 14.
I have been having some lower back pain off and on at times -- but nothing that I would consider taking anything for - and I probably only notice it more because of what's been going on for the past couple of months. I work a full-time office job and then come home and take care of my farm animals (cows, horses, chickens), so some lower back pain could be attributed to that.
I'm constantly lifting 50-75 lbs. or being pulled or bumped by different things/animals. Other than basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers, I've always been very healthy.
However, I tend to be the worry-wart of the family.....
