Extreme left flank pain, nothing showing on scans, please help?
Posted , 7 users are following.
I'll try to keep this as brief as I can.
I'm a 24 year old femaleand I've been expieriencing flank pain, in the region I think is my kidney.
I have had this for 10 months, but an x ray, ultrascan, IVU and numerous blood and urine tests hae all come back negative,other than some blood in my urine.
I have been prescribed co-codamol, but it does not often help.
Two days ago I went to a and e as the pain was so severe; I have been through all the same tests and had all the same results. I've been prescribed a small amount of tramadol and anti-sickness tabs. I am really suffering and unable to work. I saw my GP today, she would not give me any further analgesia and is sending me for another blood test and a chest x ray; the only referral she is considering is to chronic pain management... Not seeming bothered in the cause.
No medical professional cares enough to anything other than standard tests, its really getting me down, I don't know where to go or what to do, but I am in severe, constant pain.
Can anyone advise on where I can go from here?

I am a 25 year old female with history of urine and kidney infections which in the past were treated by antibiotics. However, for the last 3 years I have been in pain around my kidney area which has been treated by antibiotics again but the pain keeps coming back. I too have had countless Ultrasounds/Xrays/blood tests and all coming back negative... the urine samples when checked shows an infection but when analysed doesn't show any infection???
I have had all the painkillers I can and they work for a while but too strong ones mean I cant drive or work and that not much of an option for me.
I have been referred to a Chronic Pain Clinic and I have had 5 trigger point injections which made me twice as worse as before with pain. I am seriously fed up with the pain as well.
I hope you manage to get some help soon because I feel your pain
