I have been taking clindamycin for 4 days now for some white blood cells my gynecologist found in the culture she did on me, but since last night I have been having excruciating pains along with some bloading and discomfort.. the pain leads to my back also and my left side upper and lower.

I am suppose to have an ultrasound done on Tuesday but the copay is $130 there is no way I can pay that up front I am a single mother and have a lot of bills I have to pay right now, does anyone know if they can bill me in separate payments?

You will have to call them. Every place has their own policies. While some will accept payments, others won't.

Right, thanks.

Excruciating pain is something I would not wait to address.I would call your doctor and even if you get his service I would call it an emergency.
I think it may warrant a trip to the E.R.if he does not contact you soon.

I did contact the doc she said to take motrin and if it doesn't go away to go to the clinic tomorrow morning, I can tolerate pain, but this time, last night it made me cry cause it was pretty bad, it still is, but not as bad as last night, I don't know if I'm pregnant but I took a pregnancy test last week and it came out negative (at the clinic), I think I have a large copay for a visit to the ER also

They have to treat you and bill you in an ER.I am speaking of NY but I assume that is standard.

That's true... They may have to treat whatever I have intravenously if it's not going away with these pills I am taking.

Were you told you would have pain and to what degree?

No,just told that infections may cause pain or ovarian cysts

I think if your pain is excruciating than you should see an E.R. Doctor.
I did read up on your medicine and it said it can cause colitis but that is a stomach pain.

I agree, you should hit the ER, just tell them to bill you, they can not turn you away.

Oh, and also, have them check out your galbladder, I had pain in my back and uterus area and that's what it was.

So I was in the Er last night cause out of nowhere started getting horrible pains on my right side to where I couldn't barely walk, well I have a UTI but that is crazy because I had a urine culture done at my gynecology clinic and it came back fine. He said it can affect the kidneys sometimes and that's why I was having the kidney pain, and I also found out that... I'm pregnant.
