Kidney Problems. Please can you help with symptoms ????

Hi

Ok quick run down , for the last 4 month i have had a constant ache in my back, to the point i can't get out of bed some morning's , so i bought a new mattress thinking dodgi springs...
In the mean time i had a what i thought was a 24 hr bug of continuous sickness, i mean continuous for 8-9 hrs , not to be crude but it was yellow bile, with fever and cold spells, couldn't physically move out of bed and feelin bad....

Got over it but still got the back/ rib weird ache and feelin really really tired to the stage where i just need to rest even for 10 mins...

So last week all the above returned with a vengence but just before the sickness, i came in from work and felt ill sick and so so so tired, then bang sickness, pain my sides felt huge and swollen and after 12 hrs off sufferin i had to go to my GP and i was told silly not for goin immediatly to the hospital...

I was diagnosed with a severe kidney infection.

Finished antibio but still feelin a crushin weird pain ?

And also putting on weight...

Now another strange thing is i get a itch in my ankle area , sometimes all over is this connected ???

So what is going oncan anyone help ???

Those kidney infections are wicked!! The whole body often feels like it was run over by a truck...weakness, chills, vomiting.

It sounds as though you need another course of antibiotics. If your infection was that bad, and considering the delay I'm almost sure it was, one course of antibiotics may not be enough. It sounds as though you only took antibiotics for a week; you may need another week. You need to go back to the doc and tell him your symptoms.

The itching could be an allergic reaction to the antibiotic. Kidney failure can also cause itching, but I wouldn't say that's what your problem is at this time. It's very difficult to know what's going on with someone without seeing them and lab results. Your best bet is a return visit to your doc.

I'm sure you're drinking lots of fluids; keep that up. You want to flush the kidney on a continuous basis. Be sure you're eating properly and getting enough electrolytes too. In other words, 8 cups of water are good, but add some other fluids too.

You are going to have to be patient. Your body has been through a lot, and it's going to take time for it to fully recover. Good luck!

The antibiotic may have no gotten all the bacteria. I would go back to my doctor just to be sure, if you dont get that taken care of it can lead to major kidney problems, even failure. I dont know that the itch is related, maybe a mild reaction? But i would go back to your doctor soon....

MY son has a renal cyst and he sees a doctor that specializes in (Nephrology) I think you should go see your doctor a.s.a.p. and have him refer you to one if these doctors. Don't wait too long it maybe very serious....!!!!!!!!!

Being a kidney pt myself'I strongly urge you to see a nephrologist. I was mis diagnosed and had to have a transplant, Good Luck!
