Four days later my doctor diagnosed a
kidney infection due to microscopic blood in urine, fecal studies negative for blood.
Amoxicillin, 875 Mg 2 x's daily. Pain generally got better over the next week. Pain returned, feeling as if something was swelling under my left rib cage and pressing against the bone, both front and back.
Emergency room visit resulted in two apparent partial blockages in left ureter, probable cause. Referred to urology and told to restrict fluid intake.
