Q: Bilaterial flank pain, nausea, diarrhea, and low grade fever

Today is day 6 of this unrelenting nausea (no vomiting), and now a low grade fever has shown it's ugly self. So much as taking a shower or even taking the dog out, results in an upward bilateral flank pain.

2 months ago, red blood cells were found during a urinalysis, along with an enlarge prostate. My PSA came back at only a .4, but due to swelling, I was nearly completely unable to void, and was given a Foley, and then to return one week later, to have it removed. That same day it was reinserted, as I could still not void on my own. This all happened on a Thursday.

The following week on Tuesday, I was experiencing major pain from the Foley and my urine had turned a very dark brown. By 10 o'clock that night I could take it no more and went to the emergency room, which it was determined that I now had a severe bladder infection.

At this time I was scheduled for a Cipto TURP in two weeks. The Cipto revealed no blockage and thus the TURP was not performed. This was 2 weeks ago and I am still experiencing burning during voiding and this flank pain is worsening, now along with a low grade fever, nausea, and diarrhea.

I was first put on Bacterium, then changed to Doxycycl, and this Thursday am scheduled to begin Trimethoprin for another month.

When all of this started, through some blood test, my creatine level was 1.5, [high range as I was told is 1.4]
