Luekemia?

Highschool aged, with some weird symptoms:

Petechia (I think). It's extremely localized, and in only a VERY small area, probably one square inch. It is below the skin, and does not go away when you press on it (i.e. the "glass test"). Been around for 24 hours or so.

Lower Back pain -- lower left back. Only had for a few hours.

Is there a chance I could be sick with Luekemia?

Glass Test is just way to prove it's Petechiae. Over the last week it has went away, and then came back a little farther up my arm. Confusing.

I doubt it.  I've never heard of petechia and lower back pain as being a primary symptom of Leukemia.  I don't know what the glass test is.  Could you explain that?
