HI Boom,

Seems you got a lot going on. I think your best bet is to see the doctor. We do not diagnose here. Let us know what you find out.

Well that is quite a list. As you say, you are under the care of a doctor. And he/she has informed you of these "problems". Foremost you need to follow the medical advice. He told you of a spot on your kidney. Well he certainly must have given you some direction as to what to do about it, or more testing, etc.

Now understand your long list of problems are not all things caused by your kidney. In fact some of the things you list (for example high blood pressure) cause damage to the kidney, not necessarily the kidney causing high blood pressure.

You also do not indicate your age. But for example, if you are older, male, have even a slightly enlarged prostate (quite common) that could be causing the frequent urination.

The high blood pressure can be causing a lot of the symptoms you listed.

Obviously follow the doctors advice. But in general, get that spot checked. Get the high bp under control, and I bet you feel a lot better.

A lot of your cramping issues can be related to NOT drinking enough water during the day. Your magnesium and potassium can be too low, thus causing the cramping. Your high BP needs to be brought under control or you will have kidney issues.

Back pain and flank pain are probably totally unrelated to any kidney problems.

As someone else has said, we are not medical experts here. We can only comment from our own experiences. You need to see your doctor and get to the bottom of your issues.

High uric acid can cause gout. Did your doctor prescribe medication for that?

"..spot" on your kidney? don't what you mean by that? Was it found in an ultrasound?

Anyway, get back in to see your doctor. None of us here have any answers to your list of problems. Take care and in the meantime, drink plenty of water.

The "spot" needs to be biopsied to find out what it is. Sometimes, depending on what the spot looks like on ultrasound, a radiologist can tell what it is. A spot could be a cyst, or almost anything else. Even if one of us had a SPOT on our kidney, the results could be entirely different from what yours is. Sorry, but you have to rely on your doctor to tell you what it is.
