Hi.

I've had some ongoing issues for a while now. I have multiple nodules in my left adrenal gland. I've had cysts on both kidneys. I started seeing and endocrinologist this month who is running a lot of blood work, thyroid scan, because my thyroid is enlarged etc.

I've had blood in my last two urine tests. I'm having pain while urinati. Im battling with side, lower tummy, and lower right back pain which runs to the upper part of my thigh. I'm having light pain in my chest which feels like a heavy weight. I can't stop coughing and for a long time now I'm having major fluid retention. The fluid retention is so bad that it hurts my muscles and bones etc. I'm having a kidney ultrasound soon, and am nervous

I'm wondering if I should be concerned if I'm having kidney failure?? I'm finding more and more that I'm so sleepy, as well.

I guess, I'm just curious about, those of you with kidney failure, if you had these same symptoms? I'm urinating a lot and the pain is getting worse, and I'm just worried and wondering if you had the same issues? Any thoughts appreciated. I guess I just want to talk to people who are or have gone through what I am now. Thank you for reading. Xo

    I got my creatine lab results online. They were 104.00. Is this bad. My last 3 urline samples showed infection and some blood. I've had two full rounds of antibiotics at home, yesterday my doctor called and said I still have bacteria in my kidneys. She is starting me on 10 day round of I've antibiotics. I don't know what any of this means? I got my results back on my kidney ultrasound. They still see a cyst on my left kidney, which I knew this. I'm just confused, and any insight would be so good.
