Hello, I am 18 years old height 5 feet and weight 180, I recently had lambien birth control put into my arm about 3 weeks ago and about for about a week I've been having mild kidney pain, it felt like pressure sometimes but now it's hurting a bit more then usual. I am now starting to have weird taste buds, everything I'd extremely salty along with weight gain, I've gained 15 lbs in past week, I already did a preg. Test and that was negative

Hello
If the pain is in your upper back on one side this may be a kidney stone or a kidney infection.
That much weight gain implies water retention and that could be from the birth control medication, but it may indicate a kidney problem
You need to see your doctor about this and get blood work and a urinalysis
