Any ideas what this strange abdominal and back pain may be?

Question

A week ago I had a sharp pain in my lower right back. It's about where my kidney is. I thought little of it, but the next couple days it happened periodically, then I felt what I can only describe as something inside there pushing outwards kind of pressure along with pain, but it was off and on.---

Eventually this was accompainied by some lower right abdominal pains, occasional nausea, light headedness, disorientation, etc. The doctor say there was no blood in my urine, he thought it unlikely to be my gall bladder and very unlikely to be my appendix.---

He put me on ranitidine (Zantac), and did blood tests to check for infection (they aren't back yet). Today, 2 days later, the "pressure" is much worse, and the pain in my abdomen more steady, along with more frequent back (kidney area) pains.

Urination is normal, bowel movements mostly normal, though a decrease in appetite. No fever. Just feels like I'm carrying a full water balloon between bottom rib and hip bone. Idea

Answer 1

It completely sounds like you are passing kidney stones. You don't have to have blood in your urine for these calcium deposits to work their evil way out of you, your body may have already broken down a large stone that was not at first able to pass. It is excruciatingly painful to not pass kidney stones because you need to do lithotripsy first. See a competent urologist. I can't believe your doc didn't even mention kidney stones...Good luck, and God Bless.

Answer 2

I agree with mamafirs. This sounds like kidney stones. I have, unfortunately, a great deal of personal experience with kidney stones, having lived with them for over 25 years.

Note: ZANTAC should not be given for your symptoms. Find a 'real' doctor. The one you saw is a 'little deficient' in his/her clinical skills.

Best wishes and good luck.
