Hurts to Breath, Touch And Move... Posted: 01-12-07 13:34pm
Hi I am only 20 years old and have had a
lot of bladder infections and kidney
infections... I think it might be
caused by my autoimmune disease which my
cells are attacking eachother which causes
me to be more prone to sickness and such
and also is rheumatoid arthritis...
But a few weeks ago I had an accident and
fell on my back really hard... My
back hurt for a while and felt better for
about a week or so... Now today I
woke up and my lower back just above my
hips on the right side started hurting
really bad, aching, sharp pains, it kind
hurts to breathe and move and it is
sensitive to touch. What could this
be? Are my kidneys damaged or could
it be something else... I can't
afford to go to the hospital until I get
my insurance which won't be until the
middle of next month or so... Thanks
so much...

Sweetie, if you are worried that you may
have damaged internal organs, like your
kidneys, you need to see a doctor
.A.S.A.P! If not treated quickly, some
injuries to the body can be very fatal!
Many hospitals have financial assistance
programs for non- and under-insured
patients. They can help you pay for your
visit. But please see a doctor! If it's
nothing, then great. But if it is some
kind of internal injury, treatment would
be most effective sooner rather than
later. Good luck, and I hope all turns
out well!

Please get yourself to the er asap.
Whether you have insurance or not, tell
them your situation and they will work out
a payment plan. You bruised something and
you need to get taken care of immediately.
Don't wait
