Recurring Kidney And Urine Infections, Headaches, Lump Under Skin. Low Calcium. Are All Symptoms Connected?
hi, i am a 23 year old woman. I have an unidentified problem with reoccuring kidney and urine infections, i have had scans and nothing had shown up. I have recently been getting really bad headaches and i am extremely tired, i had blood tests and they came back and said i had low calcium. I have now noticed a lump under the skin on the back of my neck under my hairline... what could this be? and could all these syptoms be connected?

Hi,
It seems that you might be having chronic recurrent urinary tract infection giving rise this problem.
Go for urine test and culture sensitivity test which will give regarding type of bacteria and antibiotic affecting against these organisms.
After report go for long specific antibiotic medicine course.
Take plenty of water.
Keep local part clean and healthy.
Having lump in back of your head might be different entity and nothing to do with urinary problem.
This might be due to some local infection on the scalp like dandruff, fungal infection or ingrowing hair follicle infection.
Ok and take care.
