Answer 5

Have you tried seeing a chiropractor - my wife had a severe back pain and ours eased it within a week, he is very good.

From your symptoms I would think you do have a kidney problem but if the tests are clear it is difficult to assess what.

Answer 6

Is it about time to check with a chiropractor for another opinion? You have ruled out certain of the problems... perhaps he can see something the other doctors can't see.
