Teabugsmommy the right side of my back is absolutely painful and my side. Ellen038 thank god you made it thru. I know how serious the kidneys are that's why I'm desperately trying to find out if this is the case. Thank you ladies for your help. Did my lab work today and hopefully I hear back soon and go from there
I have had several kidney infections and they made me very sick and they were super painful (flank pain) I actually went into kidney failure and almost died on my birthday. Fever, chills, flank pain are the symptoms I had. I hope they can figure out what is wrong with you before too long
The back pain in one side or the other should be the first indicator. I have only had a kidney infection once, when I was pregnant with my daughter and let me tell you.....the pain in the right side of my back was so bad that they thought I was in labor!! When they confirmed it was a kidney infection they did so via ultrasound and then they actually gave me a morphine injection!! It was horrible!!
