I am a 21 year old female and i just got diagnosed with this, i have had excrutiating pain for almost a year now. It was especially bad after drinking alcohol. I went to several doctors and the ER a couple times, with no luck. Everybody kept saying nothing was wrong with me, but the pain suggested otherwise. Finally a urologist figured it out, thank God. I am having it operated on in two weeks, never thought i would be excited about surgery. If this causes pain you WILL know. Hope everything works out for you, hope you never have to endure the pain i did.
Thanks for your help. It makes me feel less worried about all the minor twinges I am having. ( And by minor I mean I actually have to stop and think if there is anything happening at all) Since I last posted I had a test which involved drinking lots of water and then having a diuretic. NOW I know what kidney pain is! However it went completely in 24 hours. Is your husband going to be operated on? What has he been told about the operation and what are the other options (if any)
ny husband as the same thing except his is symptomatic. I cannot believe they wouldnt operate, to me it seems foolish just waiting for it to get bad. However from what my husband experiences, is excruciating pain in his back, so i believe it would be go when the pain s bbbaaaadddd or inthe meantime talk to another surgeon.
