Ick, so all these stupid kidney infections I've been having...aren't infections at all. Most of the time they haven't been able to detect an infection but just thought the test was screwed or it was me drinking massive amounts of water trying to clear my system, but NO, it's a stupid cyst.
Apparently they are normally not painful and aren't a big deal, but I can barely walk, so they are sending me to a urologist to have it checked. Which just sucks because the treatment is either inserting a needle through the skin into the kidney to drain it, or surgery according to what my Dr said. ACKK!!
My back has been bothering me for like 6mos, but I thought it was just part of getting older or something. I'm equally terrified and excited to have this pain gone. Damn, I'm such a whiney little baby.
On the bright side, lately I've noticed my arms, hands and face are all puffy and fat looking. Well, I had a similar cyst around 10 years ago and when it was removed, with the help of a diuretic lost over 20 lbs of retained water in 2 days. I'm not that bloated this time, but hopefully these few lbs puffing up my face and hands will disappear.![]()
