Yes, thank you. I have had a pain in my right side and back since May. I was sent to the ER with suspected appendicitis. The report from the hospital said no appendicitis but extrarenal pelvis on rt. I have been seen by a urologist who said my right kidney is shaped differently from the left, and they have known for a long time that my right kidney is slow drainingk. Prior to this visit, I was seen in another ER where they did a renal aorta/retro scan on me and said there was a back-up in the right kidney, thus sending me to a urologist. A temporary stent was put in and removed a week later with no appreciable reduction in pain. I have had repeated bladder infections, all of them resulting in blood in the urine. I have had a nuclear test on the kidneys, cystoscopy (interstitial cystitis), abdominal and pelvic MRI, abdominal and plelvic CT Scan w/o contrast (looking for a stone), 3 stool cultures and 5 blood tests. The last stop is a colonoscopy with a gastroenterologist. The report from the first ER was sent out of the hospital to be read since the radiologists all leave at 8
Hello, I have studied your case. Most probable reason for your symptoms could be postural problem. When such patient comes to my hospital we usually take x-ray spine or if required MRI to see for any nerve compression. Medication like methylcobalamine with muscle relaxant and analgesic will reduce pain; you can take them consulting your treating doctor. You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case. Other less likely possibilities can be spinal disc bulge, TB spine Hope this answers your query.
