I suspect left kidney is not working right

I am experiencing a dull pain under the rib cage at my back for few days now. Although not severe, I'm not comfortable with it. No other worrying symptoms came out and the pain is bearable. I tried to set an appointment with my doctor but I can't contact the office incharge. I suspect the pain has to do with the kidney. I may having an infection but only a lab test can confirm. This is untimely because of the situation right now. Two months ago, lab test showed that I have an elevated level of creatinine. Medication was prescribed and a follow up test must be done within this time. Very unfortunate!

No lab test recently. I must consult my doctor first if he has to order that. Hopefully, by tommorow he's available.

I'll pray that God will heal you. If you start vomiting and have chills, please call 911 or get to an emergency room right away. That happened to me when a kidney stone blocked the canal and I went into septic shock.

@ZedSmart I know we all hesitate to go to a doctor right now, but sometimes it's very important.

Thank you Ms.Vicki. That was terrible then. I hope that nothing is so serious. I don't like hospitals this time around.

Creatinine levels determine how well your kidney is working...too bad you have high level but certain medication can help it improve if it's not that serious yet.You just have to be cautious especially on your diet and modify your lifestyle...I may suggest a healthy lifestyle.Hoping all will be well...Pray and God bless

Thank you. My doctor did not fail to remind me of my lifestyle. Though, I'm the one who failed to follow some time. My creatinine level so far is not that high but it's beyond normal so I have a prescription of that.

maybe it's your gallbladder? but if it's your kidney and you can't go to your preferred doctor yet, maybe try finding sambong or banana? either tea or capsule?

Prescribed medicine may still solve that. I hope you get to consult with your doctor soon. Do update us if you can.

I understand because my mom has the same problem but i wish it would be cured immediately because dialysis is very expensive.
