Kidney infection ??

[WingsofaTreefairy]

Sickness bug. I had a real achy back with a bug.

I would say kidney - has she been weeing alot or hurting when she wees?

[alirobins]

Without temperature?
Would there be any other symptoms?

[compo]

gp in the morning I'd say

[compo]

for tonight I'd try to get her to lie with a hot water bottle on the painful bit

[alirobins]

What could I do to help her settle to sleep? Ive given her a hot water bottle and some more nurofen.

Kidney infection sounds like

[ToysAreLikeDogs]

Constipation?

Another vote here for pain relief then dr in the morning

[alirobins]

I don't type quick enough Thanks

Alirobins - if she's still up, a hot bath might help (had kidney infection while ago and warmth helped it)

She will need to do urine sample at gps so might be worth either taking one with you or making sure she needs to wee at gp! HTH

[alirobins]

She a bit calmer in a warm bath.
Gp first thing that will be fun trying to get an appointment.

[alirobins]

Managed to get an appointment in half an hour.

[compo]

did she get any sleep?
good news about the doctor's appointment

[alirobins]

Doctor says its muscle spasm's from a bruised rib she's got calpol and nurofen and because she's not fell or anything he wants to see her in a week.
She woke on and off through the night.

[stressedsanta]

didnt the gp do a wee sample just to rule it out???

[alirobins]

No because she hasn't got any pain when weeing or no high temperature.
