Find a new doctor! Many doctors screw Medicaid or Medicare for money. They don't like dealing wwith typical insurance because private or corporate insurance will investigate unusuall charges and nab doctors on it. Medicare usually doesn't. Sounds to me that is what is happening. My dad dealt with the same thing for almost a year while dealing with horrible pain! After he changed doctors and had his surgery the previous doctor was busted for embezeling millions from Medicare. Hope this helps...

I was 19 when I had a kidney stone.  So this was 14 years ago.  I woke up at 3 am with what I thought was a stitch in my side.  (Side note: I have been kicked by a horse 3 times, never went to the hospital.  My pain tolerance is very high.) \n\nThe pain progressed from there.  By 6 am I was throwing up.  By 6:30am I was in dry heaves.  By 7am I was in the hospital, Mom was trying to understand me to fill out the hospital forms.\n\nThe thing I remember most was the worried look of nurses, as I was white, clammy, and curled in a ball.  They gave me a very strong pain killer shot, and all it did was weaken the pain and knock me out.  So they would wake me to move me to x-rays, and then to get me to uncurl from my pain filled fetal position.  Then again to move me back.  \n\nIt finally reached the bottom of my ureter, but not into the bladder.  Then the pain stopped, this was at 3pm.  24 hours later.  The stone never passed, they had to remove it.  It was the size of grain of uncooked rice.\n\nNot all kidney stones require a visit to the doctor, but some do.  My case did.   \n\nWhat helps?\nDrink more cranberry juice to up your urine acidity or take cranberry pills available at any pharmacy department, including Walmart, CVS, Walgreen etc...

i know with kidney stones there is usually blood present in the urine but if it is so bad that you can't see through it you should definitely call your doctor right away!!!!  that doesn't sound good at all especially if there is that much blood so just to be on the safe side you should call!  good luck  i hope you feel better soon!

Depending on the location of the back pain, it could be a kidney infection, a UTI,  a bladder infection, or just straight back pain from using muscles too much. The nausea is something that could come with anything or at anytime. I would say it could be a UTI or a Kidney infection. Go see a doctor soon though 3 months is too long if its any kind of these infections.

Sounds like an allergic reaction to a food or drug.\nSounds like you are ok now.  Did the ER not provide you with any additional info?

how about dropping all salt intake??  avoid all salty foods.\nif symptoms persist, asked your doc about other higher end anti-biotics.\n\nTIP: AS MUCH AS POSIBLE, AVOID TETRACYCLINE DERIVED ANTIBIOTICS.  THEY CAN CAUSE RENAL DAMAGE. (NEPHROTOXIC)\nI SUGGEST YOU GO FOR A SECOND OPINION. \n\nJOMAR S.T. NDGM '96

not enough info to answer.  have you been eating?  drinking?  do you have pain?  you need to see a doctor.  could be a virus.  could be food poisoning (gastroenteritis) or a bowel obstruction.  or ... if you are a female you could be pregnant.  if this started suddenly and you have pain in your flank or groin area you might have a kidney stone.  so you see.....many possibilities......call your doctor or get to one asap.

Call the emergency room and ask them. You could have a very serious problem or could be minor. They should be able to help you.

I advise you to see a doctor.  You may have some minor kidney problems.  Or, you may have a small bladder.\n\nEither way, best to GET IT CHECKED OUT BY A PROFESSIONAL IN CASE IT IS SOMETHING SERIOUS.\n\nNot that it is serious.  Probably just one of the reasons listed above.  GOOD LUCK!

first of all start by maybe checking with your doctor for any type of kidney problems because i have heard of that too. it could also be a chiropractic problem. sometimes it could be something as simple as buying a new bed.

If you can tell it's a muscle issue, get a massage & go to a chiropractor. If you're unsure, go to a doctor & make sure it's not your kidneys.

You need to get to a doctor now. Waiting too long to treat a kidney infection can cause kidney failure.

Go and see you GP and ask about Gallstones.  When I had it I had pain at the bottom of my chest on the right side and into my back.  I was treated for a urine infection too.
