Hiya, For the past 5-6 years I have been having severe pains in my left kidney which all started when all of a sudden It felt like someone had stabbed me in the side I fell to the floor in pain and was sick after 10 minutes the pain went. Doctors diagnosed a urine infection but after given prescription I was still getting the pains, I had numerous scans and mris but they cannot find anything so instead blame it on a kidney infection. Basically the last 3 months have been hell and I need help I'm fed up of not getting help from my doctors. I had another kidney pain attack and again was sick, hot sweat and almost passed out, the next 3 months I've had a constant dull ache in my left kidney but has now moved to the right side, I am constantly sleeping always tired! My whole body aches and I feel so weak.. its ruining my life. My dad suggested checking my urine so I urinated into a clear cup and it was orange but when settled after 5 minutes there was a salt like substance sitting at the bottom and a lot of it when stirred it looked like oily substance? I really don't know what to do.. I really need some help. Just so you know I had a kidney infection for 2 years! Please help would be really appreciated! Thank you Lacey

If you have not, I would urge you to see a nephrologist.

Do you have any idea what my symptoms could be? Thanks again

It would be dangerous as well as foolish to even attempt to tell you what might be going on. It could be something as simple as an infection and range to something as serious as kidney failure. Since I cannot examine you or run necessary lab work, I cannot even fathom a guess to what could be wrong.
