So I noticed some flank/rib pain on my left side several months ago but attributed it to shoveling dirt for several weeks while doing some landscaping. Then a few weeks ago, I started having some other symptoms that indicated possible kidney/bladder issues. I went to my new primary care doctor, saw his PA and since there was microscopic blood in urine, she sent me off for an immediate CT scan. All of my testing shows no infection, no stones, no bacteria, no cracked ribs... - that is to say, everything visible through testing is negative. So now I have visited with a urologist who says I need another CT with contrast and some other tests to rule out bad stuff. I am a person who does not have a lot of faith in conventional "healthcare"; I think we are over-screened and over-drugged in most instances except in emergencies. It is interesting that not one doctor has actually laid hands on me - only ordered tests. I am starting to panic now because I know that once you enter this rabbit hole, the bills pile up and stress mounts while doctors chase symptoms and order test after test or send you to yet another specialist. Aaargghh, what to do???
