Been having some issues and wanted to come here and save myself a few bucks on a doctors visit


3 weeks ago had sore throat like strep. Also had a spot in my sternum that felt like it was sunburned when my shirt would rub against it but no rash or burn or anything visible.
Over the next week my throat still hurts and the spot grows down the left side of my stomach making kinda a half moon around my belly button
During second week of throat hurting I have had enough and get a doctor friend to hook me up with some antibiotics. By this point the sunburn feeling is almost unbearable and covers my whole left side of my torso. Imagine the feeling of a bad sunburn when you clothes rub on it. This is what my skin feels like.

So I start taking the antibiotics and throat gets better. Skin issue starts to fade but I notice the left side of my tongue is kinda numb. It's really noticeable when I eat and drink. No big deal, it all still works. By this past Friday I was starting I feel back to normal for the most part and had a good 4th of July and drank about a case of beer.
Wake up Saturday with that terrible pain in my left kidney like I have to piss. This pain persisted all day hurting like hell. Got ahold of a muscle relaxer and it didn't do much. Flank/kidney area hurt through Sunday and I tried drinking a shite load of water. The pain slowly improved on Monday to just a small spot that hurt occasionally.
Tuesday I do a urinalysis and have an ultrasound. UA comes back good and I ultrasound shows some small sand type stones.

So here it is Wed and I still have the numb mouth issue, shooting pain in the kidney, and the sensitive skin issue that passed. I get home this afternoon and my wife tells me my left eye looks funny. It's a lot more open than my right one and when I blink the left one doesn't close all the way. This would explain why it has watered all day if it hasn't been completely blinking.

Oh and lower back pain that kinda feels like its catching a nerve but I've had that for several month. When I sit in my office chair with a pillow it takes care of it.

The only consistency is everything has been on my left side.

So, OT docs, nurses, plant operators, and ballers. Aids? Hepres?

If it doesn't clear up in a month or two, I'd head back to the doc.

Shingles? (Which is a form of herpes, BTW )

Look up your symptoms and shingles and see if they're similar.

I haven't been to a doctors visit in 3 years except for a steroid shot for poison ivy. Normally I'd ignore all of it and hope it went away but it's kinda freaking me out. Maybe because its freaking her out ad it's freaking me out.

Not sure if I should say this because without blood tests I can't confirm. Your symptoms sound like an environmental cause either accidental or intentional exposure to a chemical poison. Have you and your wife been arguing? Do you suspect she is cheating on you? How much is your life insurance policy?

u/s don't show stones very well btw. Need a CT. The facial stuff sounds like a bell's palsy, and the skin issues sounds like shingles. Unusual to have all at same time though. Unless you have AIDS.
