I have had kidney problems since 12 (now I
am 21) I am a 6'4 230 pound Male. I have
been diagnosed with IGA Nethropathy which
is now in remission. I have passed 18
kidney stones. I have 20 non ubstructing
in each kidney. That is my diagnosed
medical history.
I now have since Jan 07 have had chronic
pain in my groin/pelvic area and burning
and sharp urination with blood in my
urine. I do not have white blood cells in
it and have been tested for a stone and
infection. I have had several RECENT CT
and X-rays done of the area and been
checked for all the usual stuff including
infection, kidney stones, my previous
disease, bowl build up, and every other
typical cause.
I have been researching my symptoms and
have come to find that two things match up
with what I am dealing with. The minor of
the two is "Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome"
which has an unknown cause and unknown
treatment. The major of the two is Bladder
Cancer, which I have every symptom of and
have had these in order. Including the
sudden and heavy (30 pound) weight loss
which happened over the summer during
which I was not active at all physically
or eating a diet that would be reason for
that loss of weight.
I need to know if after having these
conditions for a year, the cancer would
have shown up. Or if its possible it
wouldn't have yet. If that is the case I
need to know ASAP so I may start
treatment. If it is neither of these
things or possibly something else, please
let me know.
If anyone doctor or otherwise has
information on what I have stated today
please post it. I am in a lot of pain
every day and have had trouble finding
work because of it. I have no health
insurance and can't afford it or the tests
to further investigate these symptoms. So
please I will take any help offered. Thank
you.
