What Causes Chronic Pain In Kidney Area?

Hi, I am having issues with pain in my back in my kidney area. This has been going on for a year now I have been to the hospital and to the doctors several times and every time they say there is blood in my urine and that its a kidney infection or possible passing of a kidney stone. They have set me up to do a ivp and also said my iron levels are pretty low. Any idea what could possibly be going on? Im so tired of being in pain. I cant even sleep at night. Im tired of being told the same thing over and over. Its been a year and no real answers. Thank you :)

As you have explain here I suggest chronic kidney pain use to be due to kidney stone, kidney infection, here I suggest to do ultrasound and check report if there is kidney stone can go for lithotripsy that breaking the stone with laser. And then it comes out in urine. And if there is no kidney stone then once it gets conform that you have kidney infection then need to get proper treatment with anti biotic. Also do check your sugar level and take necessary steps because some times the cause of infection could be diabetes. Also consult a dietician on diet and water intake advice. If you are not well with one doctor go for second opinion. But take steps soon because it's not good for kidney to have problem from such long time. Also have check on uric acid level.
Take care.
