Kidney pain follow up

[cowchaser]

Just to let everyone know I did end up going to the ER just to get checked out. All bloodwork and urine tests came back normal and fine. Kidney function looked fine. Doctor said since they had done so many ct's on my stomach lately he wasn't comfortable doing another one due to possibly exposing me to to much radiation unless pain gets worse, which was understandable. Says I do have the symptoms of a stone, but nothing showing up. Thought maybe something aggrevated the mass on my kidney and that is what is causing the pain. I should be having my biopsy in the next few weeks, plus the surgery to try and figure out what is wrong with my stomach. Surgery in Dallas will be for sphincter of oddi dysfunction, but no promise that is it.

I also figured out that if you have stomach problems don't let them give you iv or oral toradol. It tore my stomach up about an hour after they gave it to me.

Glad you got it checked out, anyway! Hopefully you get it all sorted out soon!

Dustin,
Has the doctor checked you for gall bladder problems?? My daughter in Illinois has had lots of pain in her kidneys and she does have some stones, but here about a month or two back, she was rushed into the ER and the doctor diagnosed her has having a problem with her gall bladder... it wound up being taken out and she's had no more pain in the kidneys?? go figure.

Good luck Dustin, I hope they find and correct the problem.

They took mine out about 3 months ago thinking that was what was causing all the stomach pain. Needless to say it got worse after they removed it.
