About two weeks ago I started getting kidney pain. I realized that I had been drinking 1-2 energy drinks every day for several years so I quit immediately. Also had been taking a lot of vitamin/supplement pills, and honestly my diet has been really shitty (lots going on and lots of other excuses)
I decided to wait a couple days and see if it got better. Instead, i started to develop a stomach ache. As the days progressed I started getting various stabbing, burning, and "twisting" pain in various spots on my lower torso, waist, and pelvis. Not too painful, about 7/10 at worst, but constant.
No blood in urine, no painful urination, or any bowel problems.
My stomach started to knot up constantly and the stabbing pains continued. Finally after about 10 days I went to get looked over and I had both bloodwork done and a urine sample taken. Full metabolic panel.
Everything was in great shape and I'm in perfect health, though a certain calcium level was very slightly elevated... All kidney functions etc were perfectly fine. No white blood cells in urine to indicate kidney/bladder/etc infections. My blood pressure was even the lowest it's ever been. I was told there's no indication that I'm anything but perfectly healthy. The elevated calcium is weird, but i have after all been taking a calc/mag/zinc supplement along w multi and a diet high in cheese..
Yet I sit here and although it's better (after a couple days of mostly fasting and drinking tons of water/vit c/veg drinks), the stomach and kidney pain still persists. Obviously something is wrong, no?
Let's add a twist: I work at a gentleman's club with nasty strippers and nasty customers. I've never been sick more often in my life and I come into close contact with all these nasty people. Now.. a couple of the strippers are complaining of the exact same symptoms. Obviously women get some of the stomach and lower back issues occasionally but the sharp pains and kidney specific symptoms are the same as well and no, you assholes, I don't have VD. I was tested for those too today.
