What Are The Symptoms Of Kidney Infection?

I have a consistent pain mostly on my left side. It becomes more severe cramping and pulsing pains almost like somebody taking their fists and twisting it into my left side as hard as they can. It feels like I have a rock in my back. I tried to see a doctor about it is and she treated me like a hypochondriac because I told her it felt like a severe kidney infection. Which I have had, so I know how it feels. I feel on the ice 2 1/2 months back, tore muscles in my left shoulder and broke my right wrist. I also have a labour intensive job. The thing is, this pain just popped up this morning, and I have been having the chills. I mentioned that it could be a kidney infection. She said, does it hurt when you pee I was like, no, but I know what feels like and it really hurts She did and abdominal examination ... No pain But the throbbing rock like pain still persists in my left side of my mid back Over the course of the day the pain got worse and the painful Attacks are more persistent. She is a student doctor... Did take my temperature or nothing just began saying, oh well... You could have an std... That would cause it.. Anyways... Do you think it s just muscle tension when it just popped up over the course of the day? I also had a migraine for three days prior to my back pain. Normally I don t take medication for pain because I have a very high pain tolerance. And this is my doctors treat me like a hypochondriac Because I have sit there with a broken are calm and nonchalant.

Hi and welcome to HCM!


Thanks for your question.


Kidney infections can arise from urinary tract like kidneys, uterus, bladder or urethra presenting as loin pain, abdominal pain, fever with chills, burning sensation during urination. Get CBC, S.creatinine, urine routine and ultrasound of abdomen & pelvis to rule out infection.

Hope this helps.

Take care
