A little embarrassed but........
Well, ever since I got well from the flu, my right kidney feels like its been pulled out of my body. it sorta feels like a sore mustle, but its not. Before this soreness feeling happened, i got a real sharp painful pain that you cant walk, or move from. I feel embarrassed to post this on here, but i hope someone has an idea of whats going on. I hope its not a kidney infection, but it probably is. thats what you get from being on a diet of Dr. Pepper

Kidney
Hi, You could have an infection, or Kidney stones. I would suggest seing an urologist asap. What with the holidays coming up you need to get going. There is nothing as bad as Christmas or New Years eve's at the ER. Stuff doesn't just go away. Take care and good luck, BOBB

Well I consulted a doctor. Since there were no other problems associated with a kidney infection, he said pains in the kidney like that are usually caused by fatigue. he said if i dont take it easy for the next few days, it might turn into one. So he gave me some pain killers and a trip to the ciropractor. Woo hoo

When I was in the ER for the kidney stones they did a sonagram and xrays to make sure the stones were small enough to pass. You might want to get checked out just in case. Drink alot of water!!!

A friend of mine got kidney stones from drinking too much Coke. He doesn't drink soda of any kind any more.

Cranberry juice is only good for maintenance with a bladder infection. If it is your kidneys you are way beyond any point where cranberry juice might help. I certainly hope your doctor did a white-blood cell count from your urine to check for infection. If he is worth teh ink in his certification he did. It really sounds like you may have a raging infection. Not to be too personal but if your urine is cloudy (even a little) it is a definite sign of infection. You'd notice for sure if you were passing blood.
A screaming kidney is nature's way of saying "something is wrong here!". If your doctor chalks it off to "being fatigued" then I too would suggest you find yourself another doctor if only for a second opinion. An unattended kidney infection can lead to death if untreated.

usually any kidney stone would cause such horrible pain, you would not be able to function on almost any scale.
the reason that your urine would be cloudy is because of the amount of white blood cells (the ones that fight off infection) are trying to kill the infection at the sight. if it was a type of UTI (urinary tract infection) you would have the urge to go all the time and only have small amounts pass. you could also feel as if you drank 4 gallons of water. there are many signs and symptoms. cranberry juice helps because it prevents the bacteria from sticking to the walls of the insides of your urinary tract. it is something to help with the symptoms, not to cure the problem! if you would like to pm me with more info, i and my tons of med books might help.... ps, there is a home UTI testing kit....it is like a pregnancy kit, but different. good luck and feel better!

I don't mean to make light of a potentially dangerous situation, but...okay, I guess I do.
I just thouht I'd let everybody know that Johnny has come up with the name for my next album: 'Cloudy Urine.' It'll be a great followup to 'Afternoon Dan.'

yeah, dude. i hope you get well soon. get a second doctor's opinion. hopefully it is something small, but from some people i knew that had a kidney stone has compared the pain to childbearing. hope you never have to go from this but apparently lack of water in your system and high level of uric acid and something else in your blood (i forgot) can lead to kidney stones or so a doctor says. good luck man.

whoa, too much information, lol. Thanks guys for everything. I started drinking a half a gallon of water, and the other half a gallon of cranberry juice, which i didnt find too pleasant, because i just dont like it. I am feeling alot better, and i consulted that doctor again. He told me it was the start of it, and if i take it easy and drink my fluids i should feel better, and i do. Im going back in a week to another doctor to see how its going. Thanks guys
