Vasculitus was triggered by a viral infection. Rash was over both arms & legs. Steroid course, cortizone cream & antihistamines were written up on script by my GP. On day 7 today of prednisolone and rash is clearing up well.
About 6 hours ago i started having small sharp / stabbing pains. The pains are coming from my right hand side , pain is located just below the bottom of the rib cage but from the rear back angle not from my front. Pain is intensyfying slowly.
I also have a light niggling pain coming from the left hand side sort of from my inguinal crease but 3 fingers in width from the crease is where the pain is coming from , It is not too bad at the moment but unusual and has only started since ive had the rear back pain.
I have had a bowel motion today but am feeling very heavy in the stomach still.
I am passing urine ok , it is quite pungent to smell & a lil yellow considering ive only consumed water today and now about 2.5 litres. No nausea / no vomiting / appetite as per normal
Temperature is currently 35.8 degrees & blood pressure 140/90 - 87 pulse
Attached is my blood results from my bloods drawn 7 days ago

Detailed Answer:
Ans-? Post-Viral Vasculitis with Systemic Myelitis/ Radiculitis/Entero-Colitis /Under Investigation

Hi,Thanks for the updates on more information
I reviewed your query with the updated information about the query and reviewed all the data,in context of the lab test reports.

I understood your health concerns as follows-
and that understanding is given with the explanation for its causes for each of the complaints/or health concerns you have-
That you had post-viral Vasculitis with hives on both arms and legs, for which your GP prescribed prednisolone /cortisone cream and antihistamines.
And on 7th day you got relief. Simultaneously you had
a-Stabbing /small Sharp pains ,which is slowly increasing in intensity,coming forward from right side of your back ,just below bottom of rib cage with no relief of ibuprofen(nurofen) /panadol(Paracetamol)
b-Pain in the back of throat
c-Light niggling / tingling Pain in left inguinal about 3 fingers above the inguinal crease,which started when back pain started
d-Bowel passing feel of bowel movement with heaviness in stomach still. But with normal appetite.(Indicating –Mild Enterocolitis /vasculitis of the small –(causing heaviness in stomach feel)and large bowel-(Causing increased bowel passing feel)
e-Your urine color is yellow even after 2 liter water intake(caused by the increased protein destruction due to auto-immune disease and from steroid treatment ,giving dark yellow colour even after normal intake of 2 liter water)
f-With your normal temperature and other vitals.
g-Blood reports suggesting Viral Vasculitis with increased renal stress
My diagnosis and Suggested Treatment plan-

If the above data is right as given from you,You seem to be suffering from
Post-Viral Vasculitis with –
a-Rash on both arms and legs(Skin hives caused due to skin vasulitis)-for which you are on treatment with your GP
b-Pain in back and right of back with increasing intensity(-(indicates Mild Myelitis /radiculitis caused from Vasculitis / Viral infection )
c-Niggling light pain in left groin 3 fingers above inguinal crease(indicates-(indicates Mild Myelitis /radiculitis caused from Vasculitis /Viral infection)
d-Yellow urine and moderate high Bp (from protein destruction caused from auto-immune reactive vasculitis and also prednisolone treatment)

With the above disease picture,I would suggest following steps-

a-Consult your specialist ER Physician,as the case is complicated with the increasing radiculitis and myelitis,post viral vasculitis in your case,as he is the right person to take care of your conditions so as to prevent its complications.
b-Who would investigate by CT Spinal Cord of Cervical and Thoraco-lumbar region to diagnose the extent of the Myelitis/radiculitis caused from Vasculitis/Viral infection
c-and CT Abdomen- which would investigate the extent of the Entero-Colitis caused from Vasculitis / Viral Infection.

Impression In Conclusion-

-You need to consult ER Physician to treat your case in the right direction and to avoid further complications of your disease.
-Above suggestions would need Second Opinion from following Specialists-Your ER Physician and if need be from Er Neurologist ,who would investigate and treat it according to the progress and need of your disease process.

Hope I replied your query to full extent and further treatment is suggested from ER Physician and Er Neurologist.
