Im just
wondering if this is normal...Well i started getting sick bout 2 weeks ago it
started off as a throat infection i was put on antibiotics but i started to get
really sick my neck started to hurt when i tryed to touch my chin to my chest,
my head ached non stop the lights were too much. Fevers are driving me nuts and
i cant keep any food down. Well i went to the hospital on wednesday and they did
2 lumber punchers (spinal taps) because they werent sure if it was bacterial or
viral they were concerned because i had antibiotics they said it could have
partically treated it. The tests came back and they told me it was viral
meningitis they kept me in hospital that night and had me on the drip and
monitered me. The dr said it usually lasts 10 days and i can go home but come
back in 2 days to make sure im doing ok. well its been just over a week sense i
first had the stiff neck and fevers and im feeling abit better but my muscles in
my back are aching alot is this normal?
It may take up to a month to get rid of nerve irritation from the viral agent.
You should call your doctor discuss if he thinks pain medication or muscle
relaxers may be indicated to treat the aching pain..
Did you go back to the doctor in 2 days as the doctor suggested you do after the
hospital stay?
To be cautious,make another appointment get a re-check.
