had a kidney infection after christmas, bit too much snow
the pain was unbearable

go to the hospital.. NOW.

The Hospitals Suck! They take a urine sample...tell me that there is something wrong and the dont know what it is, Then send me home because they cannot spare a bed.

Originally posted by Jackson Im not posting here for medical advice, just curious thats all. Ok so since about the thursday before last my whole bladder area has been killing me... kills like mad, feels like i need to piss all the time and blood was coming out when i did pee...i thought sod that, i'll go to the hospital and get it checked out (doctors were closed on sat evening). Done a urine sample and was diagnosed with a very very severe bladder infection... so was given a course of antibiotics (200mg of something twice a day) that would last 5 -6 days and told to drink atleast 3 litres (about 8 pints i think) a day After bout 4 days the pain had pretty much gone (even though i was constantly on ibupofen it was still painful)...now im in really baad pain again not just in my bladder but where my kidneys are... it really is agonising. Does this sound like my bladder infection could have spread to my kidneys? I will be going to the doctors tomorrow evening, they're fully booked all day.

Sounds like a urinary tract infection gone bad... i know how that feels You gotta take care of that stuff straight away otherwise the infection spreads to your kidneys and GOD does that hurt!!!

I had the kidney infection, it was so bad i couldn't sleep, just lay on my stomach and had to have my bf at the time rub my lower back very very gently. I was in so much friggin pain! If your kidneys are affected you'll know straight away, the pain is horrendous

Has your doctor referred you to a urologist?? If not, that's where you should have gone in the first place! They would have done the exam on you (apparently its pretty painful but you know... no pain, no gain).

Also if you're still suffering from it and want to help make it slightly better (without the meds), make sure you drink a LOT of water - +/- 3 liters a day - do not drink sodas (i.e. coke, sprite, whatever), orange juice, or anything with acid in it. The only one you can drink is cranberry juice, that helps a lot. Also try and see if you can get Citrus Soda over the counter at your pharmacy. I know you can get it like that in some countries...
If you can, disolve the powder into a glass of water every 3-4 hours and drink it all! That also helps a lot.

Good luck

Never heard of Citrus soda before. Drink 2 cartons of Cranberry juice a day and about 4 2 litre (bout 3 pints i think) bottles of water a day. Got my ultrasound scans on tuesday though but its still gonna be the moday after when i get the results back!

and they complain about healthcare in the US. im never going to the UK while sick.

Jackson, that's some serious stuff, perhaps the pourous blood vessels in your kidneys have been damaged. so instead of filtering just impurities, red blood cells are slipping through the gaps, perhaps causing blood in your urine. now if it burns when u pee, it could be bladder-related.

i remember waking up one night around 4am, out of the blue with an excruciating pain in my lower stomach. i couldnt even walk. i had to be carried. i rarely ever cry. last time i cried was out of anger last summer. but with this, i was clenching my teeth. it hurt so bad i couldnt cry. i just had tears going down my face. i couldnt even talk.

turned out i had appendicitus. got into the hospital around 5am, was in surgery by 11am. i was 14 at the time. the surgeon told me that the pathologist report stated that my appendix was one of the largest they'de seen in a long time. im proud of that.

9cm long, 3cm wide. massive little guy. luckly for me, mine didnt rupture. my father's ruptured when he had it last year. he went to the hospital and they sent him home where it ruptured, and he stopped breathing. very scary. he's fully recovered though
