My luck with my health just lately is really bad. After 2 courses of antibiotics treating me for one of the strangest infections i have ever known and forcing me to take a step backwards with regards to my CH treatment i am now back to the beginning with the same pain that i first complained about. I keep getting small stabbing pains in the area of my right kidney with a constant ache feeling like it is under pressure or about to pop. The ache only stops if i lay flat on the bed and there are no other signs of a problem.
I am now constipated and have a lot of wind so i am hoping it is the wind that is making me feel like this or something to do with the bowls as we have checked for everything else. I have been tested for kidney infection twice and even taken a second course of antibiotics just in case there was infection. The pain isn’t all the time and the feeling is strange. It sometimes spreads to the other side and the left kidney joins in with the ache but no sharp pain. It feels like when i had a kidney infection years ago and when i went to the loo my wee was almost black but this time there is nothing. I don’t get any fever unless i try walking to the shop and back and then i will suddenly break out in sweats and my temperature shoots up.
I have rung the NHS Wales Direct number and asked their advice on what i should do as what ever it is doesn’t seem to want to ease of or heal itself so they have advised me to go back to the doctors again and also attend the hospital for my X-Ray on Tuesday at 4pm. So yet again i have to make an emergency appointment with the doctor and see if we can get to the bottom of all this. If it is a kidney infection then all i know is i have to drink loads of fresh water and try and flush this out but i have tried and i don’t seem to want to go to the toilet as much as i normally do. I can still pass urine but have to force it out and i am constipated at the same time so i know there is a problem but what is causing it i am completely lost. It has driven me completely mad the last 2 weeks as it has been non stop ache and agony.
Update:
When i wake up in the morning the ache is almost gone and just a small feeling of pressure on the right hand side in the location of the kidney. As the morning progresses the feeling will slowly become stronger and stronger. If i eat anything i tend to bloat in the stomach and then the ache and stabbing pain will appear to be strong and i then start having troubles going to the toilet. If i decide to ignore the ache and continue to eat as normal i will then end up full, bloated and in absolute agony for a while until i can pass some of the wind that has built up in my stomach. Later in the morning the other side will also start to experience problems and the feeling of pressure and become aching just like the right hand side. I don’t know what is going on but it is really strange as there are no other signs of illness apart from constipation and the aches in both kidneys (or the same area of the kidneys).
I am making another emergency appointment with the doctor again today (Tuesday)as there is definitely something going on. It has been getting worst and worst over the last couple of weeks and now its at the stage where i am constantly uncomfortable and worried about the ache and not being able to go to the toilet. I decided not to eat anything today and only drink water. to my surprise i am again bloated and getting the ache and pain in the right side very strong. I would have thought water would have been ok to drink but it seems it gives me exactly the same problem as when i eat. I am just hoping the doctor will be able to get to the bottom of the problem and tell me what on earth is going on. Fingers crossed!
