Finally Found Out What Is Wrong With My Kidneys...

[Scott_Mac]

Been to hospital twice today - the NHS amazed me, doctors appointment at 9.30, recommended a blood test and urgent Ultrasound scan (wasn't aware i may be pregnant)... went to have blood test done, home by 11am.... (signed off work for the week too ) Got phone call at 12.30.... Ultrasound scan booked for 3pm same day!

 

Got there for scan, they said "you've got an appointment on the 28th October, we'll do that today too as you are suffering from the symptons... it may help"

 

I nearly fainted!

 

So there you go... they can do it

 

Oh and if you are interested, the ultrasound revelaed a swollen kidney and have been told that i have the following:

Scarily accurate info on there... all very true, accurate etc... lucky for me i am one of the 3% of people that develops a renal colic (kidney stone)

 

So hey ho... more drugs and await the response i guess.

That picture should have a warning. I had Steak and Kidney pie last night.

Also likened to the thing in Alien that burts out of his chest

I've had ultrasound and 2 epidurals and I wasn't pregnant at the time (or at least I don't think I was)

[Scott_Mac]

Maybe you were.. they removed it whilst you weren't looking and some doctor somewhere is making a mint from your baby...

 

 

(Sorry, the drugs have kicked in)

Not content with being a member of one pretty rare group by owning a lotus you've had to go and join another!

 

Seriously though, hope you don't feel too rough

[Scott_Mac]

Cheers mate... owned the dodgy kidneys for longer than the Elise.

 

Not sure which causes more pain though.... admittedly one to the wallet!

[malbon]

Can someone summarise this thread for me ?

 

Is scott dying or not ?

 

If he is who else will frequent the forums at such ferocious pace ??

[Scott_Mac]

LOL... not dying.

 

One knackered kidney.... causes lots of pain periodically... today i finally found out the reason - after 8 years!

That wasn't your Kidney was it!!

 

I suppose there's some small relief in knowing what's wrong with your plumbing.

 

Hope the pain eases soon mate.

[Steve J]

But he hasn't told anyone about the side affects of this condition. No morning wood anymore

[daves2111s]

Noted...... "mostly found in adolescence"

 

Yes that would be it then

[Scott_Mac]

 

Steve... no idea what you are on about mate....

 

That wasn't my kidney btw.... but it is apparantly what is wrong with it, hopefully not as serious though!

 

Have lost almost a stone since getting ill though

[jez_s]

I wonder if my brother can get his hands on a spare one. They've probably got a bucket full in a fridge some where, hmm... Ebay!

Can I borrow your kidney stones for a few weeks?
