: I have had chronic right flank, back and abdominal pain for a year. I have also had about 5 UTI's and recently was told I had microscopic blood in the urine and LOTS of bacteria. I get very nauseated, dizzy and have horrible headaches. I have had many GI tests and also 2 IVPs.

: The pain radiates from my right flank around to the area just to the upper right of my belly button. It is sickening and constant. My primary doc has tried 2 rounds of antibiotics (Cipro) and also Sulfur compounds to no avail. I am going back to the urologist today. I feel TERRIBLE!!!

: Has anyone else had headaches and stomach pain?!?!?!

I am sorry to hear that you are suffering so badly at the moment. I can relate exactly to the type of pain. I did all the neverending rounds of visits to GP/Urologist, until eventually due to constant blood in urine, I was sent to see a Nephrologist, these guys deal purely with kidneys, the inner workings thereof. After renal biopsy, I was diagnosed with IGA Nephropathy.

Of course you may have something completely different going on with yourself, but just thought I could give you another route should you need to follow it.

Best of luck to you.
