Kidney infection, busy at work, would you go in?!


Question: Kidney infection, busy at work, would you go in!?
So my lower back started to hurt yesterday afternoon and i cursed myself for pushing a bit too hard on the rowing machine the day before!. Last night the real pain came!. I know it well, I had it before!. I should have recognised it sooner!.
This morning I thought I will just pop to the GP, ask for antibiotics and go into work a bit later!.
We are seriously short on people this week and last thing they need is me not being there too!. The GP prescribed me antibiotics and as I call them 'proper' pain killers and told me to go to bed!. It was getting into late morning so I thought oh well, might as well!.
So, I am spending all day like a potato, on the sofa with hot water bottle feeling guilty!. I know I shouldn't feel like that, but, I will not be popular if I don't show up for work tomorrow as well!. Keep thinking pain killers will take care of the pain!. Even just for the morning!.
What would you do!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Personally I wouldn't go to work if I was in pain and the doctor told me not to, whether or not they were busy at work or not, if you went to work in pain and feeling sick an employer wouldn't care or even appreciate you as long as your job gets done they don't care, they are not worth risking your health any further!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It all depends on how much it really hurts my spouse just got over one and it was the most pain I've seen her in along time so if it even comes close to that on your end I'd say don't but if your really guilt yourself into going ask to do easy work because your suppose to be taking it easy or something along those lines

hope it helps

Get well soon
