basically ive been doctors many of times and there useless…i get a burning sensation when i urinate and now ive been getting awful sharp back pain where my kidneys are at first doctors said it was a water infection now they think its my kidneys there they have finally sent a urine sample away and they told me it might be kidney stones…so i was wondering if they can tell if you have kidney stones from a urine sample or will i have to wait for a scan?

I went to the ER last wednesday not knowing what was wrong – they did a CT Scan & Xray and could not find a kidney stone but told me the tube coming out of my kidney was dialated making them "think" i HAD a kidney stone but passed it while i was waiting on my urine test to come back (blood in urine). If i sit up straight it hurts my back on the left side (where i was hurting when i went to the ER mind you i was in massive pain shaking, sweating, freezing, nauseated…)…….. should i be worried because I took a pain killer they prescribed and i can still feel the pain when sitting up straight. thanks……….
Ok, so maybe I didn’t give good enough details – the LEFT side of my back is hurting despite taking the pain killers. The spot where the doctor told me my kidney would be – not my bladder.

Lived here over four years. My wife and I are 62 and expect some physical problems, but were never seriously ill or had any serious problems before moving in. House is old, built 1892. Divided into 2 separate apartments at some point, probably the 70s. No lead paint or anything like that. I Live upstairs, full 2 bedroom apt. Not bad, clean. Family downstairs has been moved in a little before we did. Here’s the problem. Everyone down there has become ill. Different things, serious back and joint problems with husband, psychotic episodes with wife. It’s been one thing after another. They’re young, 40, and nice people. The same type of stuff started occurring with wife and I two years ago. High blood pressure (230/120) for me when I finally checked it, high cholesterol. Several back pain. My wife started losing her vision and we found she had cataracts. Did the surgery and though her vision is good left eye still bothers her. She woke up one morning two years ago with sever pain in the shoulder. They did everything to her for months and nothing was found. She’s never been overweight and has never used sugar or drank soft drinks. Eats a real healthy diet, but was diagnosed with diabetes and high cholesterol 2 weeks ago. The month before that I had to take her to emergency room for high heart beat (191) They fixed it with a special shot that re-regulates the heart. I developed kidney stones over the last several months, and three weeks ago woke up with a swollen knee. It’s super painful and I can hardly walk, but I absolutely did not injure it. It was just there in the morning just as my wifes shoulder. Here’s the point. A few months after we moved in I found myself looking at the stairway that leads down to the front door and thinking of a little girl. It sounds crazy but it seemed I could see or at least clearly imagine her. She’s about eleven and sits at the bottom of the stairs. I think she does come up here but only at night. She didn’t frighten me and until all this illness, that just keeps coming, I got no bad feelings. I mentioned to my neighbor and he said he was positive this place was haunted. Until last week I took none of it very seriously, however, my brother in law, who is a minister and who I haven’t seen in ten years visited. He took one step in the door and looked at me and said, "Do you know this place is haunted?" He is a very honest and down to earth man. I answered I did and we didn’t discuss beyond me saying I didn’t feel it was anything bad. Strangely the woman who lived here before us died shortly after moving, as did the woman who lived downstairs before the current neighbors moved in. One other thing that was odd was my best friend visited one day two years ago. We had coffee and at some point he said he wasn’t feeling well. He ended up in the hospital that night with a heartbeat of over two hundred and the same symptoms my wife subsequently suffered. My question is can places be bad? Has anyone ever heard of something like this associated with a house, or is this just my imagination from all these problems. I would appreciate any sincere comments. Thanks
Thanks to everyone for the thoughtful answers. It seems more and more obvious that there is little to lose in moving from here and possibly much to gain. Thank you again.

had a uti, was on antibiotics for 7 days!!! Got low dull back pain on either side and feel extremely light headed and lethargic, the pain not too bad but it is hurting……

If it has gone into kidneys what would be the treatment with me all ready having been on 500mg cefradine 4 times a day for 7 days.

I had kidney stones and even had some stuck in my urthera. I had complications and treated a very severe infection. After a long and tiring ride on that train, I’ve been feeling normal for almost 2 weeks now. This evening I started noticing my back hurts as if I have more stones coming, but this time my bladder itself is in so much pain, as if someone is sitting on my bladder. It almost feels like a cramp. Does this sound like more complications due to the stones? The back pain is becoming unmanagable now that it’s accompanied by severe bladder pain. Does this sound like a complication of kidney stones?
