Good morning fellow MS'ers! I haven't been here for a while but I always know if I have any concerns or questions I can come here and be comforted and informed! A little history of myself and my wonderful disease. I am 25 years old, female, diagnosed in November 07 and currently am feeling fairly good. I think I am basically just getting used to the changes I have had to face in my life and it's becoming normal life again.... well... until about a month and a half ago that is. I have never once in my life had a urinary tract infection and I managed to have two in one month. Broke down and went to the ER with the first one because my lower back hurt so bad I thought I was going into renal failure. Luckily I managed to catch the infection before it hit my kidneys.. Then about 3 weeks after i finished my initial antibiotics, I was back at the doctor with excruciating back/hip pain again. This time, due to the repeat of the UTI, they ordered an IVP (basically X-rays of your urinary tract)(oh yes, and don't forget the incredibly fun bowel cleansing you have to do with that test... ). I am signed up through my pcp to receive my results via email. I received an email and it said due to the IVP test results, your doctor has ordered a CT scan. So, what does any normal human being do when you read something like that? Yep, I freaked out and got on the phone trying to figure out what the heck was wrong with me. I called and the best result I received from that phone conversation was, "its just a precautionary measure" and "we think you may have a blockage". Ok, so, blockage can be anything from kidney stones, to neurological issues, to cancer.... I have a urologist appt today and am very concerned... I guess Im just here basically for support and maybe some ideas of what this appt will be like.... and of course if anyone has experienced anything like this in their journey with MS. Any comments would be appreciated! Thanks to all!
