What Causes A Fever And Pain In The Kidney?
I have an inginal hernia. I developed a fever last night of 100° and woke up with kidney hurting. My fever is about 99° now but it feels like someone punched me in the kidney. My urine this morning was very cloudy and have had no bowel movement yet. Any ideas what could be going on?
I am 35 yrs old , weigh about 240, and am over 6 ft tall.

Most common cause of pain in flank and fever is urinary tract infections but it may be due to pyelonephritis or renal abcess . So its better to get an USG or CT done .
