Hi everyone

It all started in 2008 when I was 17 years.I started paining on both sides of the kidney , I had rushes,my face was swollen, I went to the hospital and explain the problem to the doctor but all I was told its apparently allergy, I was given some allergy pills and painkillers which didn't help anything, I visited the hospital several times but I could not get any help ,so I have to live with the sickness for almost 8 years, I went for sonar, ivp but the results were apparently fine which I did not believe, I have now developed a varicocele on my left testes and the problem is getting worse, my legs and arms are in pain, I even missed some of my exams just because I could not withstand the pain, my stomach (upper) also started paining early this year like as if its fire burning, I would like to kindly ask if ther's anyone who can help me figure out what exactly is wrong with me, I'm in pain..I was supposed to graduate next year but just because of this I'm freeze my subjects..anyone to help me please

    I have had pain both sides by kidney's have had ct ultra sound cystoscope, nothing has showed up apart from a cyst on left kidney but was reassured it was normal, the urologist said its arthritis, I do have osteoarthritis but this feels different, I get really dark urine about every 2 weeks, the only thing I can think it may be is gallbladder, I have given up trying to find out, because I was told I was being silly and nothing is wrong, when I lay on my back the left side by the kidney it feels like there is something growing but the tests have come back clear, I know the gallbladder can give pain in the back by the kidneys and across the top of the abdomen, good luck anyway..

      As I have been told it's not my kidneys, the pain I get is very bad admitted to A&E on 2 occasions, still nothing, that was 2 years ago since then I have been exercising and just taking medications, but next doctors appointment I will see if I can have my gallbladder looked at, I did pay for a MRI in 2013 that never showed anything either.
