Avatar n tn Hi, new to sight.Looking for answers desperately! History kidney infection shy of 3 months ago. Have gone back to doc complaining back still hurts and am fatigued. Had ultrasound-all good. 3 weeks ago hit with extreme pain. went to ER given pain med go home. The pain is located right back, below right rib-sometime feels as if swollen. Pain never goes away completely, will intensify. Pain also shifts location. Can radiate to left.Also pelvic tailbone area-like heat or pinched heat.
Avatar f tn Here is a link for EGFR. Is has to do with the kidneys. It stands for Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate. http://www.labtestsonline.org/understanding/analytes/gfr/test.html A lower EGFR is not good, necessarily. Good is over the established limit. The MPV is mean platelet volume. It gives info on bone marrow production of platelets. Small platelets ( low mpv) are indicitive of older cells. Larger platelets are younger. Looks like your thyroid antibodies are a bit elevated.

Avatar n tn Therefore, tomorrow the radiologist is going thru her back left side to try to do the stent. What does it appear is going on?
Avatar n tn what does a syphilis sore look like? Is it hard white like a pimple or does it look like some of your flesh has been scooped out? does a syphillis sore always ooze - and if you have a bump on your genitals that isnt oozing -- would that mean its not a syphilis sore? Also for people with syphilis, once the sore is gone -- can they still infect others? I know sometimes they may not be seen, but if there is no sore, is there another way to infect others?

I'm now taking xanax to deal and also ultram which seems to be helping me very well... not to mention i was taking pain killers for 2 years. the back pain may be a blatter infection from the pks... i suggest you go see a doc. b4 it gets any worse!
1057595 tn?1257898338 Two days ago I had a pelvic CT for a kidney problem and when the results came back this morning from the radiologist, I was shocked that there was more information concerning my spine than my kidneys! Here is what the report stated: .  Advanced degenerative osseous changes with disc bulging and  multilevel disc osteophyte complex as described above. Grade 1  retrolisthesis of L5 on S1.
Avatar f tn Our ultrasound tech really did not say what it could mean and scheduled us for another ultrasound (one week from today), my midwife also did not really say what it could mean. All my other tests have come back completely normal, and besides her kidneys she is measuring perfectly (a little large actually) I was just curious if anyone else had something similar happen?
Avatar f tn I'm nearly 9 weeks pregnant and in pain with my kidneys is this normal?
Avatar f tn When I go to my pelvic health specialist, in the beginning questions (about pain, intercourse, urination, menstruation, etc.) they ask me if I have any kidney pain, and I always say no, because I don't know what kidney pain is supposed to feel like. I mean, I get back pain, but back pain is such a general thing, so I just don't understand what makes a pain specific to the kidneys. Anyone care to explain?
Avatar f tn My son had a two vessel cord, I'm not sure about the kidneys. With a 2 vessel cord the concern can be that they don't get the nutrition they need and can either grow slowly or stop growing all together. My son was born at 10.7, so as you can see the 2 vessel cord had absolutely no effect on my little/big guy lol.
Avatar f tn Sounds like the doctor is only concerned about one in particular on the far left side of my breast near the underarm area. What does he mean by (+)? There are like 2-3 lumps in that area that my husband can feel, plus 1 in the upper center of that left breast. There are some on the right, too, but he must not be concerned about those based on his statement on the orders???! What questions do I even ask about all this?
Avatar f tn I was just told my hepatitis c test came back as Reactive 28.80 H What does that mean?Thank you.
Avatar f tn I got my ultrasound yesterday morning, and I guess the woman doing the ultrasound pushed on me too hard. Even while getting it done, there would be times where I would be in a lot of pain. She said it's because she needed to see my sons kidneys. I feel really sore today, has this happened to anyone else?
Avatar f tn s can cause scarring in the kidneys which may attribute to the pain. Do you see a urologist? That would be a good idea at this point!
Avatar n tn I feel so overwhemled with ths and i do not know what to do or how to go back to normal. Please can some one help me ease my mind.
