Mild kidney pain - let it resolve itself?

[HandyBendySandy]

I've had recurrent infections and a suspected stone in the past, so I'm familiar with this - I had a sudden deep twinge in the area of my right kidney at 9am (I purposely clocked it when I felt it), and the pain was initially a sharp twinge at 30-60 second intervals. Always in the same spot, I'd rate it at about a 3. 3 and half hours later, it's up to a 4 and now at 15 second intervals.

That escalation seems pretty minor to me, and when I had a "probable" stone years and years ago the pain was front/loin and very much worse at a 7/8. I'm in no hurry to start making appointments, I don't feel unwell and don't have a fever so I think it's probably nothing much - a one-off maybe? The only thing I noticed overnight was rather frequent urination (I got up 3 times, it's usually once) despite not drinking more than usual, but all normal pee and not painful.

What does the MN medical jury think - wait and see with the very slim possibility of ending up an emergency at the weekend or speak to a doc in the next 24 hrs?

I feel a bit sicky but I think it's psychological.

I’d try speak to someone before the weekend. I had vague back pain in December. Within 12hrs, I was in A&E with suspected sepsis.

Hmm. Oh bugger I suppose I'd better call them. Its very inconvenient!

Thank you

Frequent urination could be sign of infection so always best to get checked.
Hope you feel better soon

Temp appears to be 37.2, so still in the normal range. I don't feel very "infectiony" IYSWIM - I think I'll take some painkillers for now and see how I feel in the morning.

I haven't got a vehicle today anyway, DH has got it at work but he's here tomorrow. And can look after our clingy dog.

Oh sorry, yes thanks Inspiration - fingers crossed, it'll clear on its own!
