Kidney stone? Something else?

[QueenOfCats]

Feeling a bit rough

Have pain in my back on the right, just above my waist, urine is a bit cloudy. Slight pelvic discomfort. Feel slightly queasy.

Taking a medication which has kidney stones as a side effect - am I over thinking or do kidney stones have similar symptoms?

Been like this for about an hour and a half.

kidney stone pain is excruciating-proper double you over, come out in a sweat , think you are going to die pain

[QueenOfCats]

Ah, ok, I'm nowhere near that at the moment (touch wood it won't progress)

[QueenOfCats]

Pressed send too quickly!

Does it come on that bad really quickly, or build up over a little while?

Definitely worth getting checked by gp tomorrow. Could be a kidney infection which would need treating asap anyway.

[gymboywalton]

it came on quite suddenly for me but i am not sure about generally
it sounds to me like you have a urine infection or something[but i am not medically trained in any way!]

Thanks gymboy and haunted

I will call the Gp first thing. Still sore but have taken some codydramol and nurofen so hopefully can get some sleep.

[gymboywalton]

how are you feeling today?

[QueenOfCats]

Hi gymboy thanks for thinking of me

I'm feeling a bit better today, still a dull intermittent ache and slight dragging ache in pelvis but couldn't call the Gp today - had a meting until 12.30pm and Gp closes at 12.30 on a Thursday.

Been drinking lots of water and taking paracetamol but will be on the phone in the morning a soon as they open at 8am.
