Hi all, I thought I would post this here to see what others think or if anyone else has had this problem...
For over a year now, I've been having kidney pain, alot of times whenever I urinate but sometimes I get kidney spasms out of the blue, at any time of the night or day...it started with only one kidney, but now I'm having symptoms in both kidneys.
Once in a while the pain is bad, just like when you go running and get a sideache.
Also, have noticed (for over a year now too) less urine output and also, my legs are swelled somewhat....
I also had to go to the ER over last summer....
Well my old hospital refused to even discuss this with me after the ER visit...when I was told to get a followup appt (they told me my potassium levels were extremely low but that was all they found at that moment)...
I recently got new doctors, new hmo/hospital and last week went in and had tests and blood work done, I was told they can't find anything wrong.....
But I have had severe injury to my back (compression fracture) and also have scoliosis in my upper spine and sciatica in my lower spine and get horrible lightening bolt pains in my leg and a few times in my spine.
The doctor did tell me to start Physical Therapy again, which I plan on doing but only after my surgury this week and after recuperating from it....
Meanwhile, I still have muscle spasms in my kidneys, low urine output and swelling in my legs...
And I am worried.
All this while getting ready for surgury, and fighting for social security disability....too.
