The title is about right.

I haven't gone to a doctor yet.
I've always had stomach aches like these since I was a little kid... it feels like someone is STABBING me right where my belly button is... but in the pit of my stomach.
Recently,my kidneys have strated to throb too. Like... they're pulsating.
I don't know what it could be,and since I'm not on my parents insurance anymore. I don't want to pay $750 a visit to find out I just need to drink more water.

Has anyone else expierienced this?
If so,what happened,and how did you treat it?

$750 a visit! :eek: Where in the world do you live?

You can make an appointment at your local health department where they are either free or sliding scale depending on your income. Most local doctors offer a discount if paying in cash. You shouldn't have to pay more than $30 or so.

Are you running a fever? How is your urine output? Any pain on urination?

750 is an exageration,but no. no pain,nothing frequent,everything is perfectly fine. It's just that my kidneys throb and hurt realllly bad when I get a stomach ache.
