kidney pain

hi everyone I’m not sure if this is the right group. I am 36yrs old a full thyroidectomy patient. For a couple years, I have been having pain in my back each side where my kidney is that will keep me awake all night and then eases in the day and less annoying. I thought it was due to my endometriosis turns out it’s not it is my kidneys. I was in the chemsit and saw a UTI test kit and the only reason I picked one up to try so because something in brain made me realise that pain is either side where my kidneys are. I did a test and it showed positive for Leucoytes. So the doctor has given me antibiotics but I told I have had this pain with episodes for nearly 2yrs so she is doing a kidney function blood test. But I had a blood test done on Saturday and it showed my creatinine was in the high end. I wondered if any of my blood results mean anything at all. Thank you so much

Hi - I have recently suffered from pain that kept me awake at night but seemed OK during the day. It was only on the right side however, not both sides. Turns out I have a kidney stone (I had a scan last week) and I have an appointment with the doctor next week (non-urgent) to talk about treatment. Is it possible you have kidney stones?

You could have a kidney stone .

Ask doctor to check for stones and rule it or out .
