Does Kidney Problems, Flank Area Pain With Foot Swelling Need Immediate Attention?
My daughter is in pain & seems to match the signs of kidney problems, pain in flank area, swollen foot, this started on Thursday. She is 43yrs old & has MS. She is getting very upset. home alone. She is 9miles from me, but I have only driven 2X s in last month, I m disabled & not sure of myself behind the wheel. I have not driven in 7ys prior to last month & I m in panic mode. No one here either, I don t know my email PW, only Facebook. Does this seem to be a URGENT situation?

Hi,
It may be due to some stones or calculi somewhere in her urinary tract. She can take analgesics like Tramadol or Diclofenac for pain relief. It is not an emergency and she can consult a urologist and get an ultrasound scan done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
