Kidneys

I posted a few days ago about my kidney symptoms but for some reason cannot find my post.... Forgive the repetition.

My kidneys hurt. Yes, I'm sure it's the kidneys and not my nerves or muscles. The sensation is a dull constant ache, bilaterally but more on one side, with occasional acute pangs. A few pains radiating down my lower flanks and hips make me wonder if there are kidney stones on the move. I have no UTI symptoms, no fever. The pain started mildly a few weeks ago and has increased the past few days to the point that I can't ignore it, and I have become nauseated today. My doctor says (by phone) that it doesn't sound urgent but I should go to the ER if it gets worse (she has no open appointments until five days from now).

I would love help brainstorming what could be making my kidneys hurt. No history of kidney pain or urinary tract issues. I have re-started several supplements recently (all liquids begun at one drop) but they're all things I've taken before without a problem. I could be herxing slightly, but my kidneys have not hurt from herxes before. I have been moving around slightly more recently after a period of prolonged bed rest, so perhaps I'm releasing toxins that are overloading my kidneys, such as with rhabdomyolysis? I am on high doses of liposomal vitamin C and salt, which I just read can cause kidney stones. Urinalysis strips I have at home all come back clear.

Are kidney stones something I can just get through at home, or is it standard to have an ultrasound to make sure they're small enough to pass? Has anyone here dealt with rhabdymyolysis after periods of bed rest?

I want help deciding whether to go to the ER or wait. I get a lot of symptoms that are acutely worrisome but turn out to be transient, which I know is common with Lyme, especially when treating and therefore changing the bio-terrain around. It's maddening. And I know my doctors think I'm nuts, and I detest going to the ER because it's so hard to be taken seriously. It's immensely demoralizing to be knocked down by one troubling symptom after another, and I could really use some support, if anyone has any to offer.

Thanks.

Here’s the thread you started yesterday:

Try this. Get some beet root powder caps and take 8 - 10 caps with a cap of Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA)

This creates nitric oxide which in turn will stimulate your kidneys to regenerate themselves.

I thought NO was something we have too much of that already causes problems. Am I wrong?

No, much more complicated than that. In kidney disorders NO is almost always too low. Too little NO is bad, as is too much
