Thank you very much for your input.  I have gone to the doctor but I am very nervous about the procedures that they want to do on me. I am wanting to get a second oppnion.

Go to the Dr. You might have UPJ obstruction. My daughter had that all her life we didn't find out 'til she was 16 and now her kidney had to be removed. But a lot of people only have one kidney and do fine and she seems to be doing well. The symptom she noticed most was more pain when she drank a lot of water . UPJ obstructions can be repaired if it doesn't get too bad, but her kidney only had 10% function by the time we found out about it. I wish you the best and will pray for you...cat
