I’m very confused and I don’t know what to do. 2 weeks ago I have had an accident, it wasn’t something very serious but I have damaged a little bit my back and it hurts. My doctor explained me how this was called but unfortunately I don’t remember what my diagnosis was. Anyway I talked with my doctor and I asked him what to do in order to make everything the best possible way, he recommended me to stay some weeks at home in order to recover my spinal injuries. So at the end the only thing that I had to do is to rest for some weeks, to watch TV and to take care about me and importantly not to pick up any heavy weights.
This is what I really did these weeks and at the beginning I started to feel better, I thought that my pain is going away but one morning when I woke up and wanted to have my breakfast, it become very difficult for me to do something. My back was hurting like I have had a knife wound down there and it felt like the knife was still in my back. I was so scared, I have never felt something like this before, and I didn’t expect to experience such a different back pain especially when seemed that the recovery was in the process. The same day in the afternoon I started to feel sick like I have had a cold, I measured my temperature and it was 38,8. Besides this I started to feel cold every second, my mom and dad told me that they feel very hot and that looking at me it’s like I stay outside in the middle of the winter. I don’t know for sure if this is linked with my back pain, but I don’t believe in coincidences that’s why I would like to ask what do you think about this? Could it be something serious that will lead me to a surgery? Or you think that I simply got a cold and it has nothing to do with my back injury? I’m just not sure – an intense back pain and cold feeling started all at once, I doubt that they are not linked.
