Hi all
I thought I was the only one here with these strange symptoms, can't lay long in bed, standing over long periods and walking long distance's that will kill me with pain. It feels as if my kidneys are crushed or ripped out so sever is the pain in the right kidney at times or it is in both kidneys. Doc can't help me they conducted all kinds of tests (Urine,Blood and X-rays)and still come up with nothing, The one Specialist actually said its due to my large build and its a muscle problem, the strange thing is Tuesday 22nd May 2012 I passed another stone and big build(FAT) or muscle can not cause stones its my kidneys, This has set me so back that I am unable to work and I have been battling like this for more than a year and a bit, my kidney problems started in 2007 and I have been in and out of hospital for medical treatments on and off until now that I am permanently off work. Some Doc has already said to me that I am a hypochondriac (Hell I have a wonderful wife and a child they give me enough attention why must I go and look for attention somewhere else.)   

One thing to consider, if lots of kidney tests were conducted and everything came back negative, is that it is quite possible to have several different things going on at the same time. Even though you have had kidney stones before, back pain and kidney pain can be hard to tell apart sometimes, to name one example. 

It's tough when your very real symptoms are dismissed as hypochondriasis or being all in your head. Of course, when doctors say that to patients, they are occasionally right, but very real problems also get missed due to this kind of thinking. If you don't trust your doctor, maybe try a different doctor?

I'm shocked by your situation. I strongly suggest you to find a doctor more responsible. If you got lab reports already, you can send them to me, I'm a staff in kidney hospital. If you choose to trust me, I will transfer those to the nephrologist in our hospital ***this post is edited by moderator ***

It's rare but sounds like your symptoms may resemble that of a floating kidney.

I was told for years that everything was fine. when I gathered my medical files to take to a new doctor i found I was not fine at all. Every test showed inflammation, infection, cysts in my kidneys and thyroid. My new doctor ran a CT scan and MRI, found brain damage. At least this doctor listens to me. My advice is to find a younger doctor that communicates with you.
