Kidney infection! Feel very low

[Steph41]

Hi all, I had a very serious kidney infection last year and spent 2 weeks in hospital .... Well I've just started a new job (not nails as I need this job to fund nails) anyway to cut a very long story short .... I was in A&E last night and yes I have another kidney infection. I have just had to call my new boss and explain .... I have been in tears most of last night and this morning feeling so ill and fed up x

Sorry just wanted have a moan x

I hope you feel better soon x

Aw get well very soon and spend the time thinking of how you can impress your new boss when you're back on your feet. I had a kidney infection before and was in so much pain I couldn't believe it. Take this time to get better - you'll soon be back on your feet.

Have they given you a cat scan to look for stones? , I used to get them often but since I passed a stone I've not had any.

:hug: hope you are back to rights soon! (Being off work does mean plenty of time on SG!)

I've had one before too, very painful. I found taking Cranberry capsules helpful actually. They are usually good for UTI's as well. xx

This has been going on for months but I really thought I was getting over it. Had scans and they can't see anything but who knows. I just need to get it sorted so I can get on with my life x

Thanks for all the replies it's made me feel much better xxx

I really hope you feel better soon. I know exactly what your going through. I had something ridiculous like 10 kidney infections in 2 years. And the pain made me physically sick for weeks at a time. Mine slowed down, then i passed stones and had a little surgery. Ive been fine ever since thankfully. I know it gets you down, but be strong! Were all here for you

I had the same thing, couldnt find stones on any scans and wouldnt really say why i was having kidney infections. But my blood tests kept coming up as more white blood cells than normal which shows my bodys fighting it?! I just had to stick it out. My stones came along a year after my infections. And they still said it wasnt stones! I dont know if this is normal, but its what happened to me. When i passed them and had a op to make it easier to pass them they said it definatly was stones. But ive never had a problem since and its been 2 years. There is an end in sight, but just rest. I passed out from mine because i did too much.

Aw sorry to hear this. . . . but glad you're feeling a bit better today. Try to keep your chin up (lots of geeking helps lol, we're such a daft lot you'll find something to make you smile) :hug::hug:

And GET WELL VERY SOON xxxx

 

[Steph41]

Ah thanks to everyone that's replied, I'm waiting now for a MRI scan but that could be weeks away. All I can hope is I can keep the infection at bay while I get on with my life and get back to work x

 

[Steph41]

Penny vintage .. That's very interesting as they have said to me I prob don't have stones !!!!! The thing that really bothers me is the pain I have had in my back near kidney on right side for over a year which I end up masking the pain by pain killers
