I feel tired, I think I may be having night sweats, but not 100%. My back is very sore on opposite side than was sore when in hospital. I feel bloated and my tummy is bit achy? My eye sight is something that is really bothering me, it seems to have dteriorated over past few weeks and I see stars every time I'm getting up, sometimes feeling like I'm going to faint.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms that you have reported. This information raises the suspicion of a possible kidney problem. Given the recent information about a kidney disease and these symptoms, I will like to see the kidneys evaluated via an ultrasound to see whether there were any complications following this infection. I will also like you to keep a record of your temperature. If the readings are suggestive of an fever, then we may also need to follow up with blood and urine cultures.
In all, this is suggestive of a possible kidney complication. I will suggest that you go ahead and get an ultrasound of the kidneys and maybe blood and urine cultures if need be.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
