Hello I am 16 years old and I've been having kidney problems since september 08. It all started with a kidney stone and many UTI's. Ever since the stone I've had throbbing sharp back pain,trouble getting urine to pass,not being able to pass urine for extended amount of times and I've had bacteria and blood in my urine but no infections. I have had about 5 ultrasounds and countless urine tests. I have been to 2 different pediatric urologists and both have no answears for me. They claim it could possilby be normal. But I don't think so. My brother has an upj in his left kidney. My pain is on the right. I really don't know whats wrong. I had an mri done on my back to see if its something else but nothing showed up. I've also had a test called uro dinamics where they fill the bladder with water and see what happens with a scanner. I had some un normal symptons show up in that but nothing they could put there finger on. I am getting sick and tired of having pain attacks where I nearly scream and everytime I go to the ER they always just do an ultrasound and can't figure it out..I haven't been in a while tho. I just want some answears and if anyone has any information or can relate please let me know...The doctors have suggested I go to Boston Childrens and I probaly will if this doesn't stop.
Thanks,
Bethany
