I have a bad pain just below the ribs at the back mid-way between the spine and side. It feels like someone is pressing hard. This goes around the side to the front, and also through from back to front. The pain (High RUQ)at the front is very sharp. I also have a tingly/ stinging pain down the front in the groin area.The dr had a feel and said it was my kidney, either an infection or a stone. The pain was so bad he gave me antibiotics before the urine test results. tHe urine test was clear. Is it kidney related? I have this pain 2/3 times a year for the past 15 years, usually with an episode of dry-eye, and ultrasound, urine and IVP are always clear. This time I also have a rash on my legs, like tiny pinpricks of blood under the skin, that do not disappear when I press them (doesn't itch/ irritate). What can I do to stop having this kidney problem, and what is the rash? Are they related?
