Answer 1

sounds to me like you have a uti " urinary tract infection" you will need to get some antibiotics for that. you also need to drink plenty of water.

Answer 2

Well i've been called Kidney Infection Queen by my family members since I was young....I get them often. Sounds to me like you have the text book symptoms of a kidney infection and your going to need to go to the doctor and get antibiotics to cure it....drinks lots of water & cranberry juice!!!!

Answer 3

If you have a kidney stone or infection you would know it.  Its been compared with the severity of labor pain.  Its worth asking your doctor about.  Maybe some basic blood work could indicate an infection.  The fact that it hurts when you bend makes me think its muscular.  Have you done any activity lately that you're not use to doing?  

Answer 4

I had a kidney infection once. For me, the pain was not severe, but it was constant. I thought that it was just muscular, since I had been tubing on the river that weekend. I attributed the slight bleeding to between period spotting, though it wasn't. After a couple of days, I had a fever. I went to the dr right away, and she took a urine sample and gave me an antibiotic. It took me almost a week to get over it because I waited so long. Had I waited longer, I would have been hospitalized. Kidney infections are serious. Once the infection gets there, I think the only thing you can do is take an antibiotic.
