Flank Pain

Every once in a while I have terrible flank pain and trouble with urination (retention-where i have ended up with a F/C for several days) . I have seen 2 MDs regarding this and they have basically blew me off. They did an IVP and CT scans but since they don't see anything they don't believe me. I am so sick of this...Any suggestions?

See a urologist.

i have seen 2 urologists

I had lower back pain 2-3 weeks ago and went to the ER thinking I injured my back at work the day before. As it turned out I was passing kidney stones.

Have they suggested a cystoscopy? That should be your next stop.

Good luck.......................................sounds like a kidney stone is blocking a ureter. Remember that the stone may just be the size of a small piece of sand or gravel.

Good luck.................. :balloons:

Have you tried cranberry tablets? If you are having bladder spasms they just might help
