    Is this a possible kidney infection? Please help!
    Hi, for a week now I have had serious pain when going to the bathroom. I have a frequent need to urinate, bad pain when I do so and I feel like I need to go again as soon as I am done. I also am passing a little blood. Tonight the pain has spread to my lower back and sides preventing me from sleeping. I am a bit worried and wondering if I should go to A & E in my local hospital to get checked out tonight since the earliest appointment I can get with my doctor is in 2 weeks. Thank you!

    Definitely sounds like a possible bladder infection, or kidney infection. I wouldn't wait to get it checked, but it's really up to you. We can't diagnose online.

    Good luck.

    Thanks so much for your advice, I was able to get in touch with a Dr yesterday. I appreciate your quick response.

    I hope everything's okay. I'm sorry I couldn't be more help, but my motto is, when it comes to your health, never trust the internet, always see a professional. It's never good to guess about your health. :)
