Too young for anything serious??
Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2017 4:52 pm
Hello everyone!
I'm new here.. I have problems with my kidneys for 5years now.
5 years ago I had pyelonephritis (bad one..had to be in the hospital) and from that on I have had every year infection. I got antibiotics and everytime they helped. But few months ago i noticed blood in my urine. I had no pain passing urine at all. Only pain in kidney eria. Again I got antibiotics and that was it.
On 26th of December it happend again. This time there was even more blood. I had to go to ED. They made ultrasound and saw that one kidney is bigger. They said that it might be kidneystones but I had no problems passing urine. They said I'm too young for anything serious so they gave me antibiotics again..after few days I went to do the checking at my dr.and there was still blood. He gave me onother antibiotics so now I take two..
I asked how is with CTscan and they said that it is too radioactive for me cuz I'm young and it's probably nothing seriously.
I have constant feeling of a pressure under my ribs on right side and it is very disturbing. I am tired all the time and lost 4kg in last 3weeks not on purpose. Otherwise I am healthy don't smoke or dnink. I do alpinism and mountain running and I'm in good physical shape. I am 23 years old.
So I guess i want to know if I am really too young for "anything serious " and if ultrasound is good enough to see if somthing is wrong..
I'm really scared and don't know what to do so I'll be happy for any suggestion.
Have a wonderful evening and a happy and healthy new year!
P.s.: sorry for any mistakes..English is not my native language..
