Proof that doctors are clueless. If it is an infection I would like to fix it before I start TY which my insurance has finally approved. But if it is something with my kidneys i may want to hold off on TY until we figure it out.....
I swear to you 2 years ago the only health problems I had was the twice a year attack of strep throat!I feel like the more they try to treat this disease the sicker I get.

The first time I had x rays (30 yrs ago), no stones showed up. It had most likely passed by the time the x rays were taken, but I still had the infection. (From the type of pain I had, the doc thought it was my appendix, so it's kind of a good thing the infection pointed to the correct problem).
It was years later when they finally saw a stone on film (early '90's). I had issues with that thing for years - 2 rounds of litho, and it reformed both times. I can't tell you how much keflex I've eaten, and other antibiotics.
And the thing is STILL in there! I can feel it, but have not had too much trouble with it lately.
There was a lot of confusing info on the topic back then - eat calcium? Avoid it? All I know is, I do NOT drink our tap water because if it plugs up at faucets, it's gotta be plugging me up too, lol. I can NOT drink anything with sugar, because that causes infections for me. And if I need an A/B for any reason, I have to eat yogurt to keep up my good bacteria.
Keep tabs on this thing, okay? Hopefully, it's a one time thing for you.
