Excellent! When you can (if you haven't already) get/keep your own copies of all your medical records as well.

Some of those symptoms (including the trouble urinating) could be medication related; if it hasn't been very long (less than a week or so) they may resolve on their own. We can't feel what you do, so you'll need to use your own (and Sam's) best judgments on this, and having a couple days to consider/sleep on it should help too.

A couple of those symptoms could also be from your neck (things/symptoms can change over time - personal experience), but we don't have all the facts/history/variables here, and we're not doctors anyway. There could be concomitant conditions - viral, hormonal, etc. Sometimes weird (one-off) stuff happens for which there just isn't any known explanation. Time will tell.

One thing I have learned during this lifetime is that worrying (very often needlessly) about things we have no control over, or can't immediately do anything about, doesn't do anything except create more detrimental stress. I've never seen "worrying" accomplish a single cussed thing.
