Shoulder And Lower Back Pain, Fever And Chills. Had Kidney Infection. Is This A Recurrence? Have Behcets Syndrome
I've had a bad kidney infection that knocked me into the hospital just a month ago. Started with right shoulder pain, then right lower back pain, crawled up higher back and into right stomach with chills and fever. This past weekend my right shoulder is experiencing excruciating pain afraid that may be the start all over again. Can a kidney infection return that quickly? I have bechets syndrome as well.

Hi !
Thank you for your query.
Looking into your problem it could be a repeat episode of kidney infection . You didnt mention in your history that what drugs you are taking for behcets disease , if you are on immunosupressives or steroids chances of having recurrent infection increases . I advise you to consult a nephrologist at earliest , get a routine blood tests like CBC, urine r/m , renal function tests and USG abdomen done to rule out any infection at the onset only .
If you have any further queries feel free to ask.
Wish you good health.
Take care.
