im 22 and a little frightend.

So I have a history of a sensitive stomach but I have no insurance and have not been to a doctor in a noticable amount of time.

I had a very bad fever and received amoxocylin from a friend for the infection. I figured antibiotics would help.  Much to my dismay ever since they have kicked in, I have been getting a clear jelly like discharge from my rectum.  Its like clear snot every time I have to use the bathroom, wich has been at least 6 times today just for this weird discharge, (no stool just this weird thing). I read into colitis and I am praying its just a side effect from the anti biotics, since today I have sieced my doses and am no concernd it maybe the worst. :( I also have sparatic odd pains in my lower back above my tail bone.

Help please I'm really scarred...

Hi,
Antibiotics can cause diarrhea/colitis.
C diff infection is a common complication of antibiotic treatment.
Stool test may be done for confirmation.
If confirmed you may have to take medications for about 14 days.

Lol, are you scarred or scared?  Gee whiz, maybe both now.  First, IMO, you have no business, taking random drugs from a friend. That is just dangerous and just plain not smart.

Perhaps a trip to the ER?  They have to treat you there. And then you should get a definite answer to your symptoms, scarring, and/or or being scared.
