Pain under ribs and blood in urine

Hi, I just turned 17 for the past like 5 months I've had severe pain under my ribs started on the left side and now is on the right. I've gone to the hospital multiple times and they couldn't find out what was wrong. About 2 weeks ago I went to the ER because the pain was so severe under my ribs and my whole back hurt I literally felt like I was dying.anyways since that doctor couldn't find out what was wrong he claimed I sprained my back and sent me home. I went to my family doctor and asked him to look over the blood and urine tests that was aken and he said I had a great amount of blood in my urine that the doctor there apparently missed. Anyways I'm scared of what this could be, also it burns almost constantly when I pee it's done this since last June I don't have and STD'S or infection of any kind, also I've had my gallbladder removed at 15 and my appendix is gone too. My urine is also almost always dark I lost my appetite for food which is really unusual for me. Does anyone know what this could be?

You need to go back and see a doctor. An ultra sound tech is not trained to read xrays and they are not qualified to tell you anything. This isn't making much sense, unless it's blood from ur period in your urine. I don't know what else to tell you. Go to a recommended family doctor or urgent care facilty. Good luck..

You need to go back to your doctor now and your parent(s) should have you seen by a kidney specialist. This is not  normal. You need to drink lots of fluids like water, do not take any ibuprofen, aspirin, or any pain med that is filtered through the kidneys. Blood in the urine, and your flank pain, is an indication of something going on renal-wise. Your nausea or decreased hunger are also signs of your kidneys acting up. You need to see another doctor immediately and find out whats causing this. You should have some blood work done too to check your GFR, creatine, etc. Good luck and please let me know how youre doing.

The doctor from the hospital said it was fine my mom looked. And I haven't had my period in 3 months so idk how it could be period blood and yeah I have alot of health problems it's been this way for awhile. I am frustrated an ready to give up bc my family doctor has been telling me there's nothing wrong with me. No matter how much pain I'm in.

and do not take any ibuprofen or aleve..tylenol only. You may have to just have to deal with jaw pain. You seem to have some health isssues going on and you're only 17?
