Been Sick

For nearly two months now I’ve been plagued with a variety of health issues, with little to no relief. I’ve seen a couple doctors now, and so far nothing seems to have come from it.
I started having this dull ache in my left side, under the rib cage. Went to my GP, she ordered a chest xray, saw nothing, told me it would likely pass.
Week goes by, now I’m having what I can only describe is a ‘cramping’ sensation in the same area. Go back to the Dr, she says it’s likely musculo-skeletal, and to take Aleve, it’ll likely pass on it’s own.
About another week passes, and during that time I start having a pain in my back, ribcage level, on the left. Heavyness in my pelvis. Peeing all the time. My Dr is on vacation, hey…time for a second opinion. He diagnoses ‘prostatitis’ puts me on antibiotics (Doxycycline).
It seems to be working - kinda - on my pelvis discomfort, but the pain in my back is getting worse. Plus the medication is having some really screwy side-effects. I’m having chest pains, and I’m massively photosensitive. I see the ER doctor, he says I’m having a reaction to the antibiotic (well, duh) and gives me a new one, Cipro. Doesn’t answer the questions about my back, and sends me on my way.
Been on this new stuff for nearly a week now, and though I’m no longer photosensitive and having chest pains, the heavy pelvis sensation returned with a vengeance a couple days ago. The back pain seems to be subsiding a bit, but now I have an itch under my arm that I can’t scratch, that wraps around to my back ribcage.
And the cramping sensation, which never completely went away, came back with a vengeance a couple days ago. It comes and goes, but when it’s there it’s a fairly disturbing feeling. It’s like eating a meal and going for a run and getting cramps, without running.
I’m really worried about this “cramping” sensation. Doctors don’t seem to be worried, but they don’t have to LIVE in my body, do they?
As such, I’ve been horribly depressed. I don’t WANT to be. But I can’t help thinking that it’s something very bad.
