about a year ago i had been diagnosed with a left duplex kidney after having frequent water infections and 2 bad kidney infections. I had an appointment with a consultant at the hospital who just basically told me what i already knew and never offered me any further testing. Since those kidney infections, when i have been on nights out with friends and drinking alcohol i have found that i get drunk more easily and about 2 months after those kidney infections i found myself doubled over in pain. I stopped going out as much. When i started to go back out with friends i found that i wasnt doubled up in pain, but i still got drunk fairly easy and i am still like this to this day, although i dont get the pain until the alcohol wears off in the early hours of the morning. I wouldnt say that i drink a lot of alcohol though. On the majority of nights out i find myself ordering 2-3 pints of water to stop the pain. I have not had any bad infections for a while now, but usually have varied pain. It hasnt been too bad for while, I went out with friends last saturday and still feel like i am recovering. I had burning/stabbing pains yesterday all day and felt generally weak. Today i feel like they are just sore/achey and my thighs feel heavy and weak. Just wondered if this could be anything to do with my duplex kidney. I cant find out any infromation about them on the net. Well i can, but thats what i already know.
