Went to the doc today...kidney update!

[OKIE]

Guys,

I posted last week that I was having pains in my left kidney region. I was concerned that this was due to a sust/fina stack compounded with a weekend of drinking alcohol and not water. I went to the doc today and he said he is pretty certain I have a kidney stone. I took a urine sample and I will know for sure tomorrow. He said it was mostly caused by the dehydration over the weekend and that 90% of them pass on their own. I just wanted to keep you guys posted on this.

What other symptoms did you experience?

Stones don't form over a couple of days. If you have a stone than it has been forming for perhaps years. Also you may have more than one. They usually have friends.... If you have stones than make sure you drink distilled water from now on. That will help prevent the formation of more stones.

What other symptoms did you experience?

The only real symptom I had was a sharp pain in the lower left kidney region. I came back from a weekend of drinking at the lake and the apin hit me like a ton of bricks. It was really bad and I could hardly sit down. I went to urinate and it burned and had a darker tint to it. I started loading up on the water and the pain subsided to a soreness. My urine was back to a clear color and id not burn anymore by the next morning. That was about 7 days ago and I have had that mild soreness ever since. Sometimes the pain is non-existent and other times it can hurt depending on what I am doing. I haven't had any other symptoms besides that. I'll know for certain tomorrow if it is a stone or not.

I got my lab results back today and he said that it was not a kidney stone. He thinks that I may have just pulled some muscles in that region. He told me to give it another week and see if it gets better.

Get him to scan your lungs. You could have pneumonia. I had it a few years ago and it was pains in the lower back (I didn't realize lungs went that low). The pain got so intense that I could hardly breath and when I finally went to reach for the phone to call an ambulance, I passed out. I woke up a while later. At firs tI thought it was kidney stones or a hernia but it was damn pneumonia.

well shit thats good news bro. You dont want to hae kidney problems, that would definately suck ass. But glad to hear its nothing and hopefuly everything goes well in the next week or so!

Did you have any other symptoms? This pain is almost to my immediate left side, but it doesn't hurt to take a deep breath and I haven't had any problem breathing. It is pretty much a soreness.

 

[Nathan]

Yeah, it hurt when I breathed in deeply so I wouldn't worry about it. I was really surprised it was pneumonia though is all I was trying to point out. Sometimes it ends up being something completely unexpected. Don't worry though, your doc knows better than I do.

I know if shouldn't have drunk alcohol. It was a rare moment of weakness for me. I thought I might have a shot or 2 just to chill out and be done, but I was an idiot. It was only one day, but it was enough. Trust me, it will never happen again. I appreciate the advice, but I don't smoke weed or do any other drugs for that matter. The doc still says it is a pulled muscle that I keep aggrivating by not taking time off. Most things don't hurt, but some back exercises do. It is hard to take time off in the middle of a cycle!
