They did send me to a two Dr's to check to see if i had any pinched nerves or back issues and they both stated they felt it may be a kidney problem...
Hi well i just recently saw Dr.Jaffe from Pittsburgh and he recommended i see a Renal Nephrologist..they just called me from Cleveland Clinic and I have to go there on Thurs am..thanks again and God Bless John
I cannot provide an answer on the basis of the symptoms alone. It sounds as though you had a reasonable work-up and you did see the right specialty initially. I wonder if the problem is in a nerve from your spine giving you a referred pain. Certainly if your pain changes with movement/position, it is unlikely to be of a urologic cause. I think that your best plan would be to get a fresh set of physicians evaluating you. This could be locally or go to a teaching center and see a primary care physician and bring all of your x-rays (the films) and lab reports.
Good luck!

I had something similar in 99 and it turned out I passed two stones to the area right above my bladder and no one caught it because it was blocked in X-rays by my pelvic bone... Have the uroligist look at your x-ray and see if your tubing from your lfet kidney to your bladder looks defromed or irratated maybe something similar is happening to you. With me they didn't figure it out until 01 because I finally had a kidney stone in my kidney.
