Answer 2

I feel your pain! I have been diagnoised with chronic kidney stones,and kidney infections. To sum it up in one word,it pretty much "sucks". I have your symptoms all the time when I have a stone,and even when it's just an infection. Next time you have a kidney stone and pass it,have them test it to see what it is made of. My body produces too much calcium,so mine are calcium deposits. Also,try cutting back on carbonated and caffienated drinks. This helped me out alot. But since you are in pain NOW,I would suggest drinking some Cranberry-Apple juice. If it is a stone,this helps you pee a lot,but also is good on your kidneys. Um,don't take any Ibuprofen,for this thins your urine,and makes it harder to pass the stone if it is one. If it is an infection,same rules apply. Drink lots and lots of fluids. And if you can,goto your doctor and get on an antibiotic. I hope this helps you out,and if you ever need to know more,feel free to add me or e mail me at

Marienarul,
First of all urinary track infections are very common and they are also ( sorry to say ) very recurrent. You probably had a urinary track infection and it appears you have another. This is very common in sexually active women. Go see your doctor, for more medication and treatment. Your back will certainly have some pain in the kidney area, generally this is mild at most.

The best ways to treat diabetes.

Meet our diabetes community.
Known medically as pyelonephritis (PI-low-nef-RI-tis), kidney infections usually start in the bladder. If your resistance is low, germs from the bladder can travel up the tubes (ureters) that lead to the kidneys, take up residence, and multiply. An acute kidney infection starts suddenly with severe symptoms, then quickly comes to an end. A chronic kidney infection develops slowly, grows steadily worse, and hangs on. The chronic variety can lead to kidney failure.

Causes
Conditions such as pregnancy, diabetes, cancer, kidney stones, and abnormalities of the urinary tract can lower your ability to fight off the bacteria that cause kidney infections. Foley catheters (tubes inserted through the urethra to drain the bladder) can also lead to infection if left in place for extended periods. Women sometimes contract kidney infections when bacteria get into the urinary tract following sex.

Signs/Symptoms
Usually symptoms come on very fast. They include fever, chills, pain, upset stomach, low back pain, vomiting, a constant need to urinate or an inability to urinate at all, blood in the urine, and pain or a burning sensation during urination.

Care
The doctor will send a sample of your urine to a lab for tests. Whether you need to be hospitalized or not depends on how sick you are. Either way you will need to take antibiotic medicine to fight the infection. If this is an ongoing problem, you may need additional tests to find the cause.

Risks
Without care, you may get repeated kidney infections and even kidney failure. The infection could also spread to other parts of your body and cause worse problems.

IF YOU'RE HEADING FOR THE HOSPITAL...
What to Expect While You're There
You may encounter the following procedures and equipment during your stay:

Taking Vital Signs: These include your temperature, blood pressure, pulse (counting your heartbeats), and respirations (counting your breaths). A stethoscope is used to listen to your heart and lungs. Your blood pressure is taken by wrapping a cuff around your arm.
Pulse Oximeter: With a little clip connected to your ear, finger, or toe, this machine measures the oxygen in your blood.
Blood Tests: You may need blood taken for tests. It can be drawn from a vein in your hand or from the bend in your elbow. Several samples may be needed.
IV: A tube placed in your vein for giving medicine or liquids. It will be capped or have tubing connected to it.
Strict Intake/Output: Your doctor may need to know the amount of liquid you are taking in versus the amount you lose in your urine. This is often called an "I&O."
Unless told otherwise, drink 6 to 8 large glasses of water each day. Keep a record of exactly how much liquid you drink.
Your output of urine may have to be measured. Ask your doctor whether it's OK to use the toilet.
Antibiotics: You'll need antibiotics to fight the infection. They can be given by IV, as shots, or by mouth.
Other Medicines: Your doctor can prescribe medicine for pain. If it upsets your stomach, you may also need anti-nausea drugs. If the pain won't go away or comes back, be sure to let the doctor know.
Clear Liquid Diet: Even if you're unable to eat solid food, you may be able to drink water, broth, or apple juice. And you can suck on ice chips or eat gelatin.
IVP: An IVP, also called an intravenous pyelogram (PI-uh-lo-GRAM), is an x-ray of the kidneys, bladder, and ureters. To make them show up better in the picture, a special dye is usually injected into your bloodstream. People who are allergic to shellfish may also be allergic to this dye. Be sure to warn your doctor if you have such an allergy.
Abdominal Ultrasound: This painless test uses sound waves to create a view of the organs inside the abdomen. The pictures show up on a TV-like screen.
Cystoscopy (sis-TOSS-kuh-pee): For this examination, the doctor will thread a cystoscope (a long tube with a magnifying glass and light on the end) into your urethra and up into the bladder. This scope is sometimes hooked up to a camera. It can reveal the presence of kidney stones, and can be used to take tissue samples for tests. During the exam, the doctor also can remove small tumors or stop any bleeding that's found.
Surgery: If your doctor finds a blockage in one of the ureters, you may need to have an operation. A blocked ureter can cause repeated kidney infections.
After You Leave
Always take your medicine exactly as directed. If it doesn't seem to help, let the doctor know, but keep taking it until told otherwise. Be sure to use up all the antibiotics you're prescribed, even if you're feeling better. If a medicine makes you drowsy, avoid driving or using dangerous machinery.
Make a point of drinking 6 to 8 large glasses of liquid, such as water, juices, and milk, each day. Limit caffeinated beverages, such as coffee, tea, and soda.
You may have sex when you feel ready. Stop if it causes any pain.
To make sure the infection is gone, return to your doctor for a follow-up urine culture.
For Women:
After using the toilet, wipe from front to back, especially after a bowel movement.
Wear cotton, not nylon, underwear. Nylon holds in wetness near the urethra, encouraging the growth of bacteria.
Do not use positions during sex that irritate or hurt the urethra or bladder.
Urinate within 15 minutes after sex.
Urinate whenever you feel the need.
Call Your Doctor If...
You still have pain when you urinate or still have a fever after 2 days of antibiotics.
You are running a high temperature.
You have pain when you urinate, cloudy or bloody urine, or pain in your lower back. These may be signs of another kidney infection.
You develop itchy, swollen skin or a rash. You may be allergic to your medicine.
Seek Care Immediately If...
You have trouble breathing or develop severe swelling after taking your medicine. You may be allergic to it.
You develop a fever and shaking chills. Bacteria in your blood may be causing blood poisoning.
