Avatar n tn I have been plagued with upper, right, abdominal pain since January 7th. I have undergone several tests, MRI of the lumbar spince, chest and abdominal CT scans with and without contrast, colonoscopy, endoscopy to rule out the obvious...kidney stones, appendicitis, gastro issues, and my gall bladder was removed 2 years ago. CT scans did reveal several small kidney stones...a few in each kidney. I can't help but think that the issue is kidney related.
Avatar f tn I have also been having transient back pain. I went to the Urgent Care yesterday and they prescribed me Prednisone and a muscle relaxer, which I am quite nervous to take. I started the Prednisone today. I have had my blood tested many times and I do not have diabetes or HIV. Most doctors have been putting it off on my anxiety, but I am not convinced this is all in my head. Please help!
Avatar f tn She no longer has headaches but still has slight jaw pain and double vision. How long does it take for the prednisone to work and will her vision return back to normal? Has anyone else had their vision return back to normal after suffering from giant cell arteritis/vasculitis and how long did it take?
Avatar f tn Hi, Usually, the signs and symptoms of kidney infection begin to clear up within a few days of treatment. Take the entire course of antibiotics recommended by your doctor to ensure that the infection is completely eradicated. Recurrent kidney infections may result from an underlying medical problem, such as a structural abnormality.
Avatar n tn My husband has been having moderate abdominal pain since Sunday night after a BM. He went to the ER where they did a CT scan and bloodwork (WBC, RBC, electrolytes, etc), in which everything was normal. He was discharged home. He was taking prednisone 10mg TID since that Saturday am (now d/c), so the hospital thought maybe the pain was due to the steroids. However, now being Thursday, he's still in pain. He said the pain was a 10 on Monday, and is now a 6.
Avatar f tn Weight gain, bruising, insane mood disorders, last week I smiled and my lip split. My kidney pain is excrutiating. Now my teeth are chipping. I constantly lose the feeling in my legs and my body is retaining so much fluid. Two weeks ago I started to develop a numbness in my right hand. The one thing I did notice was since my diagnoses I spent a few winter months in Crested Butte, Co. I did not have one bad asthma attack. Just a few minor ones.
Avatar n tn My husband is suffering with kidney stones and he got surgery for 3 times (only right kidney and left kidney is normal and no stones and it is functioning properly) and after that his body got swollen completely and after many checkups including biopsy, it is determined that he is losing proteins due to the dysfunction in the filteration of Kidney. Now he is loosing 11 gms of proteins when he undergone protein loss check up. His legs, stomach and face is completely swelling.
Avatar m tn My vet prescribed SMZ's for my dog Susie for a leg sore and said to continue until the leg was healed. Three weeks later the sore was somewhat better but not by any means healed, but Susie began not drinking much water and she wasn't hungry. Another trip to the vet revealed kidney disease and possibly liver issues per the vet. The lab work is as follows: BUN 37, Creatinine 2.1, IDEXX 17, Sodium 140, Potassium 6.1, Chloride 106, Albumin 2.6, ALT 132, ALP 291, Lipase 964.
Avatar f tn if we treat the EPI, it adversely affects the kidney disease, if we treat the kidney disease, (take away the prednisone) the EPI is symptomatic again. The vet said he has lost about 70% kidney function at this point. His appetite is almost non existent, he has lost about 13 poiund in the past 3 months, he is losing his coat on his stomach, and his hair is coming out in large blotches under his neck. I have always had dogs, but there is a bond with my baby like I have never had.
Avatar n tn She was given steroid and antibiotic injections. Also given Baytril and Prednisone to take home and give daily. She gets Prednisone 20mg 3 times a day. She began heavy breathing on day 2 of the med and also seems to have belly bloating. Is this normal? I called my Vets office and all they said was to bring her in to get seen. But, we have already spent $1300 in one week alone on vet bills. Help!
Avatar m tn s kidneys started shutting down about a year ago due to what the doctors think is an allergy to ibuprofen. She was on the verge of needing a kidney transplant. The doctors put her on Prednisone, though, and now her kidney function is almost 100% again! It's all about treatment. Just thank God that we've got that! Best of luck you. I am sure you have a long life ahead of you.
Avatar n tn For the last 2-3 months, I have experienced a sharp, debilitating pain in the left mid-lung area that radiates to the left kidney area. Have HBP, RA, GERD, Depression. My RA has been controlled with 20mg of Predisone for approx 3yrs, and I have gained about 30lbs. I take approx 4 different meds to control my BP. Recently, suffered repeated bouts of Sinus infections. Prone to Bronchitis with each cold I get. I am a smoker, 1/2 to 1pk/day. Do not drink alcohol, but yes to coffee.
Avatar n tn 4 years ago another blood test showed the same calcium levels but normal kidney function. My vet(s) are confused by the test results. All her other blood tests are normal (sodium, pot, protein, etc) We are giving her subcutaneous fluids, a kidney diet and some probiotics. Can we do anything to get rid of the calcium deposits? Could the calcium be kidney stones? Is renal advanced (the powder supplement) really important for her to take? My vets are clueless. They can't tell me anything.
Avatar f tn 3 months ago he started having some kidney pain and went to his general doctor and they checked his kidneys and all function was normal. About a month later he developed some muscle fatigue with mild pain that accompanied the kidney pain. He went to an internist and they did blood work and an ultrasound on his kidneys. The ultrasound came back negative, as in normal and all his blood work was normal except for an elevated CK of about 750 (normal is under 200).
Avatar f tn A year or two back, the Rheumo which I had seen, took me off of the plaquenil and not long after that my primary took me off the prednisone due to testing negative on my ANA count. I therefore, had managed my pain, inflammation and flare ups with naproxen, which does save my life. Several years back, I learned of Lyrica. Wonder drug for about 2 yrs then, I started showing some side effects or what I believed to be side effects.
Avatar m tn There are many other causes of nerve disorder causing pins and needles or glove-and-stocking neuropathy or paresthesia including diabetes, hypothyroidism, chronic involvement of liver or kidney, chronic alcohol use etc. Hypoparathyroidism too should be looked into apart from hypothyroidism. Neck strain, spondylotic changes in cervical vertebrae, bone disease or bad posture should be looked into. Nerve infections as in Lyme’s disease too should be investigated.
Avatar n tn How long after I start taking prednisone for a gout attack should i feel marked relief in pain?

Avatar f tn You could try calcium supplements for your back and neck pain. Also, some mild pain killers like Tylenol (acetaminophen) may help. Ensure to take them after food. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

507935 tn?1217359454 I was on 5mg of prednisone up to May of this past yr in addition to the 50 mg of imuran. After I was dropped down on the prednisone is when the pain started returning which hadn't been there since the first year of this. It makes me feel somewhat better to know that someone else is experiencing this issue with the joint pain because to be honest, I was starting to doubt my doctor.

10948614 tn?1414173719 If a patients has long term generalized edema (pitting in the legs), what are the other possible diagnostic alternatives, after heart, kidney, liver and protein abnormalities have been ruled out? I've been struggling with this edema nonsense for several years, unremitting, and yet my docs are stumped when it come to diagnosis. I also have some GI motility and hormone stuff happening but they claim there's no connection between the two.
