Granny, you need to go to an urgent care or an ER. Seriously. You are torturing yourself having this go on without treatment. As stubborn as I am I've been to the doctor twice in two weeks due to my back and pinched nerve. Decided the only persons I was hurting by not going was my husband and myself. Not fair to either one of us but especially not to the one who loves me more than anything else in the world who is watching me suffer.
We care about you and try to help you but you really don't want to take any of our advice so we all feel completely helpless.
Please, for Robert and for yourself.....and yes, for us. Get some medical care ASAP.
