unkown kidney problem for 9 months... un-diagnosed

HI, where to begin.... last june i started getting sever kidney pain in my left flank, which followed by blood in the urine, this started by happening once or twice a week,i went to the doctors who said they thought it was a stone, i had an ultra sound/xrays/c.t scar with no stone showing, by now the pain was every day and blood in my urine 70% of  the time (october) in novermber i had a cystoscapy?? where they have a look at my bladder, everything looked fine, then in december i went under anesthetic and they put a camera all they way up into both kidneys, Nothing was found in the right one, But the left they found "as they described it" a rough patch of skin about a centermeter wide, but being a small hospital they didnt have the lazer equipment to get rid of it, i am booked in for the week after next to go under anesthetic again, which scares me as last time i was in so much pain i was on morphine and tramadol for 3 days, the blood i can handle, but the pain is really worrying and getting to me and i am absaloutly terrified that its cancer or kidney failure, has anyone heard of anything like this before?? they wernt sure in the hospital what it was, they seem at a bit of a loose end, any replies would be much appreciated : )

I've been dealing with a bad body odor for three years now and some days are a whole lot worse then others. I suffer with IBS and diabetes and fibromyalgia. I am getting banned from Dr clinics. I have had test after test done. I am getting so humiliated by the public. People spray right in front of me, turn fans on. I'm waiting on results to see about my gallbladder. I can not find a Dr yet who can figure out what is wrong with me. I get people screaming at me to take a shower. I take up to six showers a day and nothing works. I cover my body in perfume and still won't work. I am becoming a hermit in my own home. My home stinks so bad from me, that I can't get workers to come into my house to fix anything. If someone comes in here, they wear a heavy huge mask. I can't live like this. I am so suicidal over this. My Dr wants to send me off to little rock for more tests. I'm just so wore down.

How did the surgery go? Did they find anything else while they were poking around in there?

I understand your frustration since I've had visible blood in my urine since last July. Had the tests done but they can't find a thing. I know it's not normal but they can't find a cause which makes me a bit nervous and I feel like an oddball.

Perhaps now yours will clear up. Sorry you have to go through the recovery period though. It seems like it would be pretty miserable. Take care.
