What Causes Flank Pain Along With Nausea With History Of UTI?

For 10 years now I have had Uric Kidney Stones and Gout. But this Year alone I have had 5 UTI that have gone to the kidneys due to the fact I always have burning urine because of high uric acid and do not know I have UTI until to late. The one I am currently dealing with is going away however I have constant pain in my left flank more intense burning while urinating as well as external burn on penis glands. ER doc says today the UA showed clear but i m still in quite a bit of pain in the flank , abdomen and very nauseous. Multiple times I have been told Kidneys don t hurt. Well I know for a fact they do because I suffer from that pain. Is there anything else that might be causing this kidney pain that gives clean UA result? And How do I deal with pain that won t let me sleep because doctors tell me the pain doesn t exist. I am trying to get a referral to nephrologist thru my primary tomorrow but I cant deal with this pain while Im waiting for someone to believe me. Any help or answers appreciated

Hello
Thanks for query .
You have severe pain in flan with your urine analysis not showing infection .

Please note that one can have severe pain in flanks due to kidney stone without having any positive evidence of infection in routine urine analysis .

Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis to rule out presence of stone in kidney .

Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.
