Burning flank pain a mystery
by barefut, Jul 12, 2008 07:47AM
Urologist says it's not kidney related - so what IS it?
No blood in urine
No pain upon urination
Small stones present but not a problem
Diagnosed with diffuse scleroderma 2 1/2 years ago
Have moderate esophageal/GI involvement
as well as mild-moderate scarring of my lungs
Also dx w/endometriosis
This burning flank pain comes and goes in intensity ranging from a annoying 2 to an incapacitating 8. No OTC meds help. Pain has presented on both sides but is usually more pronounced on one side - this time its the right.
First occurence 10 years ago. Flares maybe 2 -3 times a year now, lasts weeks at a time.
Nerve pain? Muscular? All in my head?
Frustrated! Help! Any ideas?
Going to try the Xanax doc prescribed......
