What Causes Flank Pain With Armpit Pain And Dry Cough?
Question: Hello there,
I have kidney pain over 2 months now. I also under arm pain and dry cough. Symptoms only come and go every once in a while. I thought these were symptoms of an STI, but I just got tested and resulted negative from everything. I do not have an insurance so I wanted to check with someone before I see a professional. Any idea what could it be?
Thanks,

Brief Answer:
Blood urea and creatinine measurement. Abdominal ultrasound
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the query
I am afraid testing for Sexually transmitted infections really give no clue with regards to kidney status and function. I suggest blood tests, to check for kidney function like blood urea and creatinine levels be done. however, it might be difficult to know if there are associated changes in the kidney, or existence of kidney stones, or other conditions that could mimic kidney pain. An abdominal ultrasound would be of utmost importance here .
Hope to have helped you. ln case of other questions, do not hesitate.
Thanks and kind regards as I wish you the best of health.
