I also suffer from severe flank pain...for many years, doctors were convinced I had problems with my kidneys. I was diagnosed with chronic pyelonephritis, but all kidney tests were normal (minus one bout of kidney stones). In my opinion, it is the lyme talking. It was in my case anyway. In fact, I would say most of my lyme pain is centralized in the abdomen. I also suffer from general aches with debilitating bone pain, but it seems the abdominal and bladder pain is the worst. Maybe your lyme is manifesting in a similar way... My LLMD said lyme comes in so many unique forms that symptoms are inconsistent. I hope it will resolve as you receive successful treatment! Take care! I am not a medical doctor YET...my opinions are not approved by the FDA! ;)
“If you will call your troubles experiences, and remember that every experience develops some latent force within you, you will grow vigorous and happy, however adverse your circumstances may seem to be.”
-John Heywood
"Between you and every goal that you wish to achieve, there is a series of obstacles, and the bigger the goal, the bigger the obstacles. Your decision to be, have and do something out of the ordinary entails facing difficulties and challenges that are out of the ordinary as well. Sometimes your greatest asset is simply your ability to stay with it longer than anyone else."
~ Brian Tracy
