Kidney stone? Something else?

[QueenOfCats]

Feeling a bit rough

Have pain in my back on the right, just above my waist, urine is a bit cloudy. Slight pelvic discomfort. Feel slightly queasy.

Taking a medication which has kidney stones as a side effect - am I over thinking or do kidney stones have similar symptoms?

Been like this for about an hour and a half.

kidney stone pain is excruciating-proper double you over, come out in a sweat , think you are going to die pain

Ah, ok, I'm nowhere near that at the moment (touch wood it won't progress)

Pressed send too quickly!

Does it come on that bad really quickly, or build up over a little while?

Definitely worth getting checked by gp tomorrow. Could be a kidney infection which would need treating asap anyway.

it came on quite suddenly for me but i am not sure about generally
it sounds to me like you have a urine infection or something[but i am not medically trained in any way!]

Thanks gymboy and haunted

I will call the Gp first thing. Still sore but have taken some codydramol and nurofen so hopefully can get some sleep.

how are you feeling today?

Hi gymboy thanks for thinking of me

I'm feeling a bit better today, still a dull intermittent ache and slight dragging ache in pelvis but couldn't call the Gp today - had a meting until 12.30pm and Gp closes at 12.30 on a Thursday.

Been drinking lots of water and taking paracetamol but will be on the phone in the morning a soon as they open at 8am.
