Question Concerning Kidneys And Back Pain Posted: 04-19-05 10:48am
I was at the doctor and he thinks I have
kidney stones from the symptoms. I had
severe back pain the other day, I couldn't
even move. I thought my lower back was
going out on me. The same time I had the
chills and felt a little nauseated.
The next day they checked my urine and
found blood and protein in it, and
referred me to a specialist. He took an
xray hoping to find a kidney stone on it,
but nothing had showed up. Now, i'm
scheduled for a ct scan.
Has anyone here been through these
symptoms? If so, what did they find out?

Back Pain, Blood And Protein Posted: 05-20-05 20:11pm
Your doctor knows what he's doing,,that in
itself is a relief. What youve
experienced does indeed sound like a
stone,,buttttttttttttt...........Heres teh
deal.
Ct scans wont show alot of things.....Due
to variances,,,hidden fold of skin, tissue
etc.....He needs to check for crystals
using an iv drip for stones.
Keep this in mind please! Protein, blood,
and pain.............Is indicative of pre
existing, progressive incurable kidney
disease.....So it is of the utmost
importance that in lets say,,,,3 weeks you
are rechecked and no blood is found,,and
protein level is lowered. If not,,,,you
need referral to nephrologist.
Good luck,,been there/ done this!
