Pain in kidney area increasing. - Kidney Disorders Message Board

Around November I noticed pain happening in my kidney area, so I went to the hospital and discovered I had a kidney stone along with mononucleosis. I have had the pain in my kidney up to this day, and lately it has been getting much worse. Even when I attempt to twist my body at all I experience pain and when I wake up from sleeping in the morning it is also worse. I am also just getting over a throat infection and am still coughing sometimes. Earlier I was coughing and got a sharp pain in my kidney area and could barely stand up from it. It almost seems like my kidney may be enlarged and is very close to my lung so when I cough it hits and hurts. The pain feels like my kidney is being squeezed. I do occasionally drink alcohol, but not more than a couple times a week and I don't drink much at a time anyway.
Also when I had mono my spleen was enlarged for quite some time after I got diagnosed with it. I still also experience some pain in my spleen but the pain I'm having behind it is much worse.
Please help?

My urine is fine, not bloody or anything. Does anybody know how I can help heal myself? Ways of helping the pain? I've been trying to drink cranberry juice more frequently.

my husband has kidney stones and is having pains most of the time. he was misdiagnosed as having an ulcer for years. he will be getting the stones blasted in august so if there is a blasting machine in your city that's the way to go. sorry, i don't know the correct term for the process. then you just urinate the pulverized stones out. hope this helps.

Well I was wanting to avoid getting anything like that done if I could... I want to be able to just rid of this by home remedies. I may have to look into doing something like that though. Thanks.

If not the stone might be obstructing your kidney causing it to be enlarged (hydronephrosis)

I don't know if I ever passed it or not, the doctor gave me a net to catch the stones in... I never used it because I was careless... It seemed like the pain went away for a while though so I'm unsure.
