Wondering if anyone has any insight into some strange pains I have being having.
I have been getting a dull ache near the base of my back on the right side along with cramp like pains in the lower abdomen also on the right side.
At first I put it down to the “time of the month”. But went to local Doctor (as my specialist away) just to be on safe side.
He did urine and blood tests and said there was no sign of infection or inflammation. I don’t have any other symptoms like nausea or fever.
And it is not always there. Seems to come mainly at night when I am trying to sleep.
Not seeing my Specialist till next week. I have never had any problems with my kidneys before. (Currently on 150mg Imuran and 5mg prednisone)
Does this sound like kidney involvement? Would a routine urine and blood sample pick it up? Last “Proper” urine test in hospital was about three months ago, and all was normal.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. As you all know, a week wait to see the Doctor can seem like a lifetime when you are worrying :unsure:
