Freaking out right now...

[Chrissy]

I'm having pain in my lower back and decreased urine output. My mind is convinced that my kidneys are failing or that I have cancer like my mom. I'm also having trouble focusing on things, or I guess the proper way to put it would be I don't feel like my brain is all the way on. Need advice and reassurance asap please.

Hi dear Chrissy.
For how long did you have those symptoms? And if you are female, are you having your period soon or has your period be 10-14 days ago?
About 7 before my period my PMS starts. I can last for a day or lasts until I finished with my period.
Symptoms include brain fog, lower back pain, blowtyness as in gas in my intestines.
Also when my ovolatipn starts, my egg jumping similar symptoms for one day.
How much did you drink in the last few days?
Being dehydrated can lead to those symptoms as well.
But please if you are worried, go to your doctor.

Seeing your doctor is key. But, growing up in a family full of nurses.. I can tell you that there is a great chance that you have a kidney infection. And when you do urinate... note the color. Is it clear or light or dark colored? And does it hurt when you pee? Not only do these symptoms mimic a kidney infection but... (not to get personal ) but, think back.. thunk about your past... (partners). These symptoms also mimic gonarehea. Although this is a slim chance.. get checked anyway. And conside also if you take acetaminophen. . Over use of it can cause kidney pain. But.. i'm leaning more towards kidney infection though... . One follow up question though? Are you experiencing fever?

Sorry your feeling this way. It might be nothing to worry about but you should see a doctor just to put your mind at ease. Trust me it's worth it, peace of mind is very underrated!! worrying this much just isn't worth it. Hope you feel better soon.

Hi @Chrissy I'm sorry this problem is causing you pain and anxiety. I think it is best for you to see the doctor asap and tell him about your symptoms. He will know what route to take and make the necessary checks. It does sound like it is something to do with your kidneys.

Don't worry about it too much. I had a kidney infection years ago and I got through it. Go and see your doctor and he will help you.
