... they've reduced and aren't as severe, I still get them. Lately I've had more pain in my kidney area and it becomes excrutiating to walk if I need a wee. I get last minute sudden urges and am,most of the time, unable to hold my wee. My doctor has said it may be irritable bladder but I know that after tests from a long time ago (around 6 years) my kidneys worked 49% and 51% and one is scarred.. I was wondering, after increasing issues and more pain in that area, if anyone thinks they could have deteriorated? I have read I am currently at Stage 3 for my kidneys but I was just wondering... if this continues I will go and get scanned again :) thank you!
