Sorry if this is the wrong forum, I didn't know where to put it.
I'm a 67 year old male, about 5'10" tall and weigh about 132. I've had kidney stones in the past, had a hernia operation in 2012 that has affected my reproductive system some, have a few bad teeth, and other issues too.
On October 15th my kidneys started to hurt quite a bit. They'd hurt for a few days, stop hurting but then I'd be nauseous for a day or two. I've had some very good days too, the last stretch was a long one, December 3rd to Dec 13th - I thought I was all better.
On the 14th I had a burning sensation in my chest and have had quite a few problems since including chest pain, nausea, and feeling really bad - I might even have had a bout of appendicitis for a day (not sure). Only one day of kidney pain though (some days they feel funny), the other symptoms are more of a problem now and I'm getting worse.
I've had my kidneys, heart, blood, and urine all checked out and everything is basically OK, nothing majorly wrong. What could have happened on Oct 15th that caused considerable kidney pain? Is it the kidneys or could it be something else? I assume the kidney problem has progressed to my chest and I'm sure the nausea and ill feeling are associated with the kidney problem.
