I was hoping we might have a nephrologist in the house or at least someone who's familiar with the kidneys.
I've been having some problems over the last few months that has started getting worse, but I'm not sure what it is.
1. left Kidney pain -- It's especially worse when I lay on a side (doesn't matter which) and when I get up- however, it does hurt sometimes during the day, especially if I haven't been sitting right. It's maybe a four on the pain scale.
2. Cloudy urine -- My urine is periodically very cloudy. If it were very occasional, I wouldn't worry about it, but it's not. I probably notice it about 4-5 times a week (usually is cloudy for 6-12 hours a time).
4. Brown urine -- Even despite a lot of drinking (juices, primarily), my urine comes out a really deep yellow color that's really more of a brown. This is also an itermittent thing, but happens more often than cloudy urine. I assume it's because when it's brown, I can't see the cloudy very well.
5. Difficulty urinating -- because of Suboxone, I always have some trouble urinating. Opiates have always done this to an extent, but sitting down, it takes me no more than 5 minutes to get it out. HOWEVER, when my kidney is hurting, it can take me up to 50 minutes!!
