General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi Candice,

I am sorry for the pain you had last night.

It could be related to:
- primary problem for which you were prescribed Bactrim
- lack of nutrients like calcium, magnesium especially if you suffered of lack of appetite recently
- exposure to cold temperature or fan/aircon

I advise to:
- increase fluids
- take multivitamins supplements containing calcium, vit D and magnesium

Wish fast recovery.
