I went to my doctor last Thursday with severe lower back pain. He prescribed Panadine Forte and advised rest. Today, I still have a lot of back pain, which is constant, aching and stabbing, with possible increased fatigue. I also feel the pain radiating down my right leg today, though it wasn't before. My doctor ruled out kidney stones with a urine test. What could be causing this pain, and what can I do to alleviate it?

I am not sure if I should go to the ER or not. I believe I have food poisoning. It started on Wednesday about 2 hours after I ate fast food breakfast. I am having excessive diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pains, my fever has been around the 100-101 range consistently. I have not been able to eat anything. I can barely keep any water or Gatorade down. I feel shaky and like I'm going to pass out. I have seen no improvement of my symptoms.

I've been experiencing breathing issues and chest tightness for about a month. I initially thought it was due to posture, but it persists regardless of my position. Recently, the middle of my chest has been tight for extended periods. I'm a 25-year-old male with no current medications, only doxycycline for skin care. The breathing issues worsen with exertion, such as during landscape work, leading to fatigue and the need to take breaks. Is this severe enough to warrant a visit to urgent care?
