My daughter is 16. She has had elevating kidney pain and some abdomen pain (around appendix area) for 2 weeks. We took her to the doctor. They performed an ultrasound. It showed an ovarian cyst had ruptured and another one was forming. We took her to the emergency room last night. Her blood work was completely normal. She had a catscan which was also completely normal. And a pelvic exam that was completely normal. Her symptoms conclude of fever, extreme coldness (to the point that she cant stop shaking), extreme kidney pain (mostly on right side, some on left), naseua, and elevated heart rate. She is so much pain that she cant walk or move. Any ideas on what it might be? Thank you.
