Hello,
I'm going through the same thing invisible444 has right now. Today was my last day of antibiotics and I still have intense pain on my right flank. I also have kidney stones but that was ruled out last Thursday as their was no blood in my urine. I've asked to be referred to a urologist twice already and they just want to fix the problem themselves, but being that I've seen a urologist for my kidney stones before I thought best thing was to continue seeing a urologist. But since I moved I have to start all over again with referrals and such. If I mention a kidney function test and ultrasound...lol they'd laugh at me and accuse me of searching the internet. (which I am) So I will give them 1 more week after Tuesday's appointment if this doesn't go away I'm going to be that crazy, whiny patient every doctor loves to have. Thanks for the advice :)
Hello,
For ruling out any kidney infections you should get kidney function tests and an ultrasound kidneys done. You should consult a physician or a nephrologist and get it ruled out.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
