Does this have anything to do with my kidney???

About a week ago I started having a really sharp pain in my left, lower back. After a few days it kept getting worse, to the point where it hurt to move, cough or even touch that area. I've had this same problem before and the ER told me it was a dermoid cyst on my ovary (right side though). Turns out it was a severe kidney infection PLUS e-coli. I got some heavy duty meds and it went away. I'm not sure if this is the same thing, but it sure feels like it. I've been drinking lots of cranberry juice but it doesn't seem to be helping. And then the other day I started to feel like I had a really bad case of the flu too. I took some extra strength flu medicine and miraculously all the pain and ickyness went away. But the pain has unfortunately come back. It doesn't hurt when I go to the bathroom, which a lot of people are asking. And I have absolutely no appetite. Any help???

If you are diagnosed with kidney problems (or any for that matter), seek out a good naturopath (one who uses natural healing). You've GOT to take care of your kidneys, and the natural approach will give you better results. Don't dismiss natural remedies until you've worked with a dependable person. This is not the same as going to a chain store and buying an herb. Help is out there- but you have to find someone who knows what they are doing. good luck!

Recurring kidney infection it sounds to me. Maybe a kidney stone? See if you can get an ultrasound done and that might help. Sorry I can't be of more help.

With your past medical history, you really need to see a doctor and not try to treat your condition at home.
