Sundial, thanks for your concern.

I had to find a new gyno. When I asked about bloodwork and a sonogram, she felt that I should be consulting my urologist or my internist. Funny a week later I get a reminder from the office that it is time for my annual exam. Loosers. I'm in the process now of getting my medical records.

My old gyno and urologist all thought I had kidney stones! I did not, the CT scan showed healthy kidneys. (yeah)

The urologist did urine/bloodwork/CT Scan and another exam to look into my bladder(yuck). He found I have Streph B, which is bacterial and attacks, kidney/bladder. Which is why I kept getting UTI's.

Just last week, the urologist had me do more urine tests to rule out other types of cancer too. Still waiting for results.

The urologist thinks some of my pain is due to a pinched nerve, he gave me exercises to do. Not sure about this one, but I'll do the exercises anyway.

I started calling around for gynos, couldn't find a straight gyno only. Talked to a lot of office managers and nurses. Funny, why is it that you can't interview the doctors office? They feel so put out, like they are doing you a favor. But who pays them? I mean I am asking for their expertise to help me keep healthy and I can't ask some simple questions about what I can expect when I go to their office? Finally found one in an office that seemed to have an array of women's specialities. New gyno, seemd on the ball, spent time with me. Asked me a lot of questions. She has ordered several tests for me, which I'm taking this week.

The side pain is much less that it used to be and since I'm drinking a lot of water now, that is helping.

All this is really making me clean up my diet too. Ill keep you posted. Thanks again.
