      hi jody, sorry to hear your still suffering, seems your feeling the same as myself. still getting pain on and off in the area of pyelonephritis after leaving hospital on the 12th march.doesn't feel like it's the kidney itself, just in the same area. going back to the hospital on wednesday for a follow up appointment, so i'm going to ask the question. will let you know if they say anything informative
