Guest guest Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 Terri, here is an old nurse's experience. With both a kidney infection & stone, you have what's called CVA tenderness. Just a light touch on the flank, just under the ribs, will make you flinch or even jump a good ways. The pain from a stone tends to be spasm-like; grips you hard, then lets up. Kidney infection is more likely to be constant. However, you can have both a stone & an infection. In that case the pain should begin to let up after 24-48 hr. of antibiotics, longer if just given oral meds. You usually don't have fever with a stone alone, but as I said, you can have infection along with the stone, then you might have fever. Both conditions can cause blood in the urine, either visible or occult (only detected by lab stick). If you have been treated by antibiotics known to be effective against this bug (was a urine culture & sensitivity done?) for at least 48 hrs. & the pain is not improving, you need to be re-evaluated.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2006 Report Posted April 17, 2006 Matt, Thanks for your advice. I will have to say I have a very high pain tolerance so it is hard to know what is bad and what is not. When I had shingles I thought the it hurt but it didn't feel horrible so I have a hard time knowing what is the worst pain ever. Because I am having pain still though, I think I am going to call and talk to my doc. Maybe he will order x-ray or MRI just to be sure since I have had the ultrasound already. I appreciate you guys so much, you just don't know it. My mother-in-law is a saint but every time I see her now she says I know you are going to wake up one day and all of these problems will be gone. Well guess what, we should all be so lucky. She is aging and she just can't handle seeing me sick. So, thanks for hearing me out - you guys all know what is feels like to be chronically sick.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2006 Report Posted April 17, 2006 Rose, A culture and sensitivity was done and I am using macrobid because it was sensitive to it. The pain is still there; I have had it since last Wednesday before I even new I had an infection. I had no burning, I had just called to see if I could go back on my Detrol due to frequency, incontinence, etc. The doctor took me off it in March. He would not let me go back on until I had my urine tested to see if I had an infection. I was sure I did not and thought it was ridiculous to have to go out of my way to go and leave a specimen. Boy howdy, I had to back pedal when they told me there was infection present. The pain comes and goes and if you see my note to Matt, I have a hard time quantifying pain sometimes due to a high tolerance. I may call today or tomorrow if the pain continues. (I have been on the antibiotic since last Thursday). Thanks Terri G. Quote
