So, were they testing your urine? There are dipsticks that can be used to perform various chemical tests... increased amounts of nitrite and leukocyte esterase indicates a bacterial infection. Then they can do a microscopic examination and see if bacteria and white blood cells are indeed present. What takes longer are the culture and sensitivity tests... Culture is where they apply the urine to growth media and see what type of bacteria grows. Sensitivity is where they apply the urine to growth media with several types of antibiotics and see which ones best inhibit the growth of the bacteria. (These are all things I learned in my Urinalysis class.)
But, medical talk aside, I hope you are feeling better soon.

I'm not sure what else it could be though. O_o

I haven't gotten the extensive blood work it takes to see if I have arthritis. However they took a general one and didnt see any elevation in the blood that would be prevailant if there was the possibility of arthritis-

I still think I should get that extensive test to make sure- hurrmm
