My girlfriend has been in severe pain for about a week and a half. The pain first presented as a headache, upper back and shoulder pain , and a general feeling of fatigue and poor health.
This was accompanied by a severe pain and burning while urinating , and brown urine.Also nausea , vomitting and diarrhea . There was a clear , odorless vaginal discharge for 24 hours or so.
A physician found blood traces in urine, and started her on pyridium and loritab for pain relief associated with kidney stones.
The pain has now localized to her lower right abdomen , and is sharp and stabbing at times.
Tests showed stones in the LEFT kidney, but the pain is localized on the right side.
I’m worried that more than one thiong is going on here… mainly appendicitis. Her physician seems to believe she is malingering for pain pills and is not acting in what I consider a timely fashion… reschelduling treatment for 10 days later.
This could be fatal if appendix ruptures.
So my question is , could pain from left-side kidney stones be referred to the right side? Or is there something else going on here?

Thanks in advance.

Last August I had a kidney stone, and i was 16. I have always had to pee multiple times a day and throughout the night. The past week i have been having bad stomach pains and today i woke up and was vomiting and having diarrhea. Then i had to pee quite often and the past three times have been completely clear. No sign of any color at all. And i have not even drank a whole bottle of water today.

My signs say that it could be diabetes insipidus? Im only 18. Is that possible?

For the past at least 4 months. I have been having stomach probelms coming and going in waves. I saw the doctor last night and he thought it was either my gullbladder or a problem with a valve in my stomach which I have had when I was young but was cured with zantac 75.

My symptoms are a super gassy stomach. Always bubbling and gurgling all over in my abdomen with cramping feeling. Gets worse after eating and problems with Diarrhea.

Well to start off my wonderful day today I was on my way to work and got the worst pain in my abdomen I have ever felt. It hurt so bad to even breath. So to the emergency room it was. After sitting in the doctors office and taking blood tests that showed little results everything seemed normal. My urine tests showed a little bit of blood but nothing outragous. They set me up on emergency for a Upper GI and a Ultrasound. Well Ultrasound came first and after the ultrasound they said I was not going to be getting the upper GI anymore. This confused me cause I was sure I was having a gullbladder problem and how would they know whats wrong with my gullbladder without the upper GI?… anyways afer the ultrasound I saw the doc again and he says I have kidney stones (wtf.. news to me). They gave me two shots in the Ass of Demerol and gave me vicodin for pain and Flowex or something like that for the stones. Turns out I have at least 3-4 stones in my kidneys but before I could ask any more questions my doctor was out the door. I guess my real question is.. is it heard of to have a really gassy intestinal area or abdomen with especially diarrhea from kidney stones!?!?!

(I feel super zoned out right now, Demerol is good stuff )

For almost two years my stomach has been bothering me. At first, every few days my I would have bad stomach aches all day long (my upper, middle, and lower abdomen). For about the past 8, 9, 10 months I have had SEVERE pain. Sometimes it’s so bad, I fall down or pass out. I was rushed to the ER because it was so bad I couldn’t even move! When I poop, there’s blood in it or it’s tarry black and has mucus in it. I often have diarrhea and constipation and every time I eat I throw it up. I also throw up even when I haven’t eaten anything! My pain never goes away, never!! I’m always nauseous as well. I have terrible headaches, and fevers that come and go. They usually are 99 to 102 degrees F. My lymph nodes around my neck have been swelling since the beginning of summer, the ones on your neck and chin area. Also near my spleen has been swelling too. I have night sweats and a few times I’ve waken up and thrown up. Sometimes, I throw up all day long! Or I have to use the bathroom all day long. I have a healthy diet, after I went to the ER they suggested a nutritionist to plan my diet. So, it’s perfectly good. I do not have Crohn’s disease or ulcers or kidney stones. I’m not diabetic, anemic, nor do I have any STDs or HIV/AIDS. I have had all my Gardisil vaccines, and had my last one near Labor Day. I am not pregnant. Everyday it gets worse and worse! The only things that run in my family are heart problems and cancer. I’m scared! I’m 16 yrs old, I had an appointment with a gastrointestinal doctor and I’m scheduled for a procedure to find out what’s wrong but it’s not until like two weeks. But I just need help from someone to shed light on what might be going on!!!
I don’t know howw I forgot this BUT!! I’ve also lost aboutt 40 pounds. I’m 5’4” and I used to weigh 132 pounds, and I had a very athletic body. Now I weight about 90 pounds! I don’t even know why I’ve lost the weight! So.. someone help?
I’ve also been bruising.. for no reason. I get bruises on my back and lower abs, likes near my hips. At first there will just be one small bruise and then it will turn into a lot of small bruises and then just be one huge bruise! Lately, I’ve just been getting them everywhere. On my ankles, knees, thighs, arms, shoulders. I don’t play sports and I work at a bookstore and don’t lift anything heavy and it’s not physically demanding. I already graduated high school. There’s no reason for my bruising!!

i began to have lower abdominal pains earlier today, about 9 hours ago.
at first i thought maybe it was just menstrual pain, because i usually get those cramps before my period rather than during.
but the pain has moved up to around my belly button and a little above
the pain has not ceased since it began, only when i curl into a fetal position or stand completely still does it slightly ease up.
it almost feels like a flu stomach ache. i feel like i do when i have the flu and get diarrhea, but at the same time its more of a muscle cramp feeling.
the pain has been all around my belly button and lower abdominal area. it hurts to walk, as if with every step i take something inside is bouncing.
i took a hot shower, which didn’t help, i ate pickles, which didn’t help (pickles usually make ease my stomach).
it feels like i’m trying to digest a bunch of rocks.

i’m a sixteen year old female. i have two weeks exactly until i’m supposed to start my period, i haven’t eaten anything out of the ordinary for my usual diet.

i’m thinking maybe a kidney stone(s). if you have any idea of what it might be, even if you agree with me, please let me know.
thanks so much
