[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 531082, member: 1991"] I had kidney problems when I was 20. At first I had UTIs recurring, then it went to my kidneys. Once the infection was in the kidneys, the urinary symptoms often stopped but the kidney pain and fever continued. I was in so much pain I had trouble walking, and the fever was constant. The kidney is like a sponge - trying to get rid of bacteria once they get up there, is not easy. Flank pain is part of it. I remember someone coming up behind me and gently putting their arm around my waist to comfort me, and I nearly passed out from the pain. Mine turned out to be a congenital defect aggravating matters, but one of my sisters had similar problems a year or two later, and hers turned out to be a kidney stone which, by the time they looked for it, had moved. They didn't have to do anything more, she recovered. But it is not good to delay - I did, and it made my treatment a lot more complicated. And the urinary symptoms did also come back from time to time. You can't ignore it, you have to treat it as soon as you have problems. Do let us know how you're getting on. Marg [/QUOTE]
