Kidney Infection??

October 22, 2002

Hi, I'm new and I have a question.

Is it possible to not have burning with urination, when one has a

kidney infection? I mean, I have chronic bladder infections, and

don't have the burning sensation then, either.

The reason I ask is, for the last five days, I've been very " sick " .

At first, we assumed it was a cold or sinus infection, because I'm

very susceptible to sinus infections too. I started taking over the

counter sinus meds with fever reducer, and I don't feel the sinus

problems anymore, but the rest of my symptoms are still with me, and

seem to be getting worse.

It all started on Thursday, when I noticed a sharp pain about an inch

or so above my waist (but going down to my waist) on the left side of

my lower back. I have kids, so I thought I had just pulled a muscle

playing with them, or something. I have slept on a heating pad for 4

of the last 5 days, and the pain just seems to be getting worse. I

used some topical ointment on it, and it helps, but it doesn't

relieve the pain entirely, and as soon as it wears off, the pain is

right there again--it hasn't lessened any during the whole 5 days. I

didn't have any of the other symptoms till Friday. I am basically

sore all over, every joint hurts (mostly from shivering so much/being

tense), but what hurts most is the spot on the left side of my lower

back.

My fever has been fluctuating too--I was only in the 101 range the

first two days, but yesterday got into the 102 range, and today my

highest temp was nearly 104 (it has gone back down to 101). I get

chills so bad that I can't stop shivering no matter what I'm wearing--

I have to cover my head with the blanket to be almost totally warm,

but feel like I need gloves for my hands; and I'm extremely parched,

though I've drank nothing but bottle after bottle of water, and hot

decaf tea with honey these past few days.

I do not have a sore throat, I do not have sinus problems now (and

haven't for the last two days). I would like to just think it's a

virus of some sort, but my husband seems to think it's a kidney

infection. I looked up the symptoms, and I do have all of them but

the burning with urination. However--I find that in the first two

days, I seemed to feel the need to urniate often, and now it really

sneaks up on me--when I have to go, I have to go right then and now--

and there is a " sick " odor afterwards, it is darker than normal, and

I noticed a white milky discharge as well (I know this is graphic,

I'm very sorry). Then, afterwards, I have frontal abdominal pains on

the left side, exactly where the pain is in my back--and I am very

nauseous--can hardly even drink water and have to immediately lie

down. I'm very tired too.

So, do the signs still point to a kidney infection? I don't want to

make a Dr.s appt. unless I really need to, I don't have health

insurance. I also don't want to go overboard with my " home

diagnosis " either.

Sorry this was so long ang graphic, I thought I should tell you

everything possible to get good answers. Thank you!
