Question: Hello, I need a answer please. I had to pick up cheerleading mats and wrestling mats the week ending 2014. I did this about 3 times. I had to lift them from the ground into the back of a box truck. I didn't feel anything right at that moment. About a week later, I felt my lower back start to hurt. The pain would come and go and would be worse sometimes. It felt like when I sat for too long, it would hurt the most and when I stood up and walked around it would somewhat go away. I'm a hypochondriac, and I have a fear of dying. I'm currently on lexapro for it. Because my back was hurting, I automatically thought I had something wrong with my kidneys. I then thought I had a UTI. I waited about another week and I had a little back pain. Mind you it would radiate up the sides of my back. I finally sucked it up and went to the doctor this past Saturday. I had them do a urine sample. The doctor came in and said that everything is normal. I don't have a uti and everything else is negative. The appearance was clear, the color was colorless, the ph level was 6. The specific Gravity was 1.010. The glucose and ketones were negative. The urobilibogen and bilirubin were negative. Blood, protein, nitrite, and leukocytes all came back negative. All of the things mentioned above, if they came back negative does that mean that my bladder and kodneys are functioning normally? I'm really scared I have some type of cancer and that's what the pain in my back is coming from. Mind you I went to get the urine test done at 6 o'clock at night, not first thing in the morning. Could that have an effect on it? It seems like my first Urine in the morning has a strong odor. Could this be bad or is that normal? Also could this be just a very bad back sprain that takes time
To go away and is radiating up my back on the sides of my body? Please help, I don't want to die.
