question: For 10 years now I have had Uric Kidney Stones and Gout. But this Year alone I have had 5 UTI that have gone to the kidneys due to the fact I always have burning urine because of high uric acid and do not know I have UTI until to late. The one I am currently dealing with is going away however I have constant pain in my left flank more intense burning while urinating as well as external burn on penis glands. ER doc says today the UA showed clear but i m still in quite a bit of pain in the flank , abdomen and very nauseous. Multiple times I have been told Kidneys don t hurt. Well I know for a fact they do because I suffer from that pain. Is there anything else that might be causing this kidney pain that gives clean UA result? And How do I deal with pain that won t let me sleep because doctors tell me the pain doesn t exist. I am trying to get a referral to nephrologist thru my primary tomorrow but I cant deal with this pain while Im waiting for someone to believe me. Any help or answers appreciated
