Backache
 

Hi

On Monday I didn't take over the recommended number of paracetamol but I took a few more than I should have at once (if that makes sense) I now have an ache in my back but I think it could be to do with something happening with my water - I was just wonering if it was as dangerous to take a few more but under the recommended amounts in a day or is it more likely the ache be something else? I think I should go to the doctor because my water hasn't been right for a while but I just want to know if it is likely the paracetamol are in anyway connected?

I hope this post is OK and thanks for any replies it is just worrying me slighty.

Anything over the set amount is classified as an Overdose. This can affect each person differntly depening on a lot of factors.
However, if your waters have not been right, I would think this is the more likly cause of yor back ache. You may have a water infection which often comes with back ache.
Have you been needing the toilet more than normal?
Are you drinking plenty?
Is there any pain when you pass water?

Yes I am drinking more now Cranberry juice and water. I am constantly deseparate and sometimes it stings. I will make an appointment tomorrow. I just wanted to stop worrying so much about the painkillers.
Thank you very much for your reply

Yes that sounds like a water infection not the painkillers.
You may wish to take a fresh urine sample with you when you go.
Oh and if you cant get an appointment, you can probably get seen today in your local walkin centre.
Take care
