Until the doctors can come up with something, you can try flushing out your system. This is one of those things that you FOR SURE ask your doctor first. If there is no infection or virus, then it could be that your kidney is just........."polluted".

If you buy milk thistle, it could help although it is more for the liver, I have heard of it helping the kidneys.

Here is a website that gives a lot of information about the kidneys, and it could help you. Because of what the doctors might give you, you need to consult a doctor, but you can let them know if it won't hurt you would like to try herbal remedies.

When you went to the doctor, did you suggest to the doctor what it could be? Also, when the test came back that you did not have kidney infection or kidney stones, what did he suggest could still be the problem?

Is the pain in the front or back?

Do you remember at any time hitting the area?
