Hello, my father has been told that he has some issues with his kidneys. I am concerned because nothing has been recommended for him other than to drink water. This came on fairly suddenly about three days ago when he began feeling cold and upper back and shoulder pain. He also complained o fever. Now he has given blood work, an x-ray, and a CT scan. I am concerned because nothing was said to him about going to the hospital if it gets worse and he hasn t been offered any medicine. Additionally, he is very week. My dad normally faces most illness head on and it is difficult to notice that he is sick at all, but these days he is complaining of feeling very poorly which is nothing like him. Thanks, ~JW
