What Causes Severe Left-sided Plank Pain And Diarrhea While Treating Kidney Infection?
I am a 30 year old female with history of kidney stones and kidney infections. Approximately 30 days ago I started having left flank pain with urinary symtoms and a fever. I went to the er because it kept getting worse and the doctor admitted me with a severe kidney infection. I stayed 7 days for antibioics, pain meds, etc. When I was released the pain meds helped and once they were out it was apparent they were just masking the symtoms because I was still having the pain (severe) and now with new symtoms- diarhea frequently, unable to eat and/or barely drink anything all day, and when I stand up my vision goes and I feel like I am going to pass out if I dont get on the ground. I am still in severe pain.
It is due to renal calculus or stone. As you stop medication the symptoms return back. You need to take an ultrasound and other necessary investigations like urine study and accordingly, it would be treated.
