Is there an end to my kidney pain and symptoms?
I am a 27 yr old female with nephrolithiasis, I have constant kidney pain (ongoing for 3 years) that my doctors say they can do nothing about. New symptoms have presented over the past couple of weeks, Extreme fatigue ( i am falling asleep on and off during the day UNEXPECTEDLY) my body wants me to just sit and do nothing! PLEASE help, i have small children. Is there a middle ground?
I'm not a kidney expert, but it is my understanding that nephrolithiasis is kidney stones. From what I read, there are a number of different treatment options for kidney stones, depending upon what type they are. Have you seen a nephrologist (kidney specialist)?
You definitely need to tell your doctor about the new symptoms. Even if they can't get rid of the nephrolithiasis, hopefully they may be able to give you something to help with the fatigue and falling asleep.
