What would cause lower right rib pain, vomiting and urinary tract infections?I started having a mild dull pain under my right rib a month ago. As time progressed I started having flank pain, dark/frequent urine, chills, weakness, fever, mental fogginess, painful constipation, low blood sugar, lower back pain, nausea, vomiting and bladder pain. I went to a doctor and was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection. My symptoms worsened as I started Bactrum for my UTI. I started being unable to walk more than a few feet, my back would start hurting and my muscles would give out on me. I felt as if walking was injuring my kidneys. The flank pain was so bad when I laid on my sides. I went back to the doctor two days later and was put on Cipro. My symptoms started improving, and I was able to stand and walk comfortably. However, a day or so later my symptoms came back, but slightly different. I asked the doctor what he thought about the pain I was having and thought it might be stones in my kidney or gallbladder.
Since then I've been vomiting and dry heaving when I wake up in the morning, my groin area hurts when I have a bowel movement and sometimes when I pee, the pain in my rib has gotten worse, it occasionally radiates to my sternum area and to my back under my shoulder blade, I get chills every once in a while, I have brief but sharp moderate pain in isolated areas of my urinary tract and I have trouble concentrating and going to the bathroom. I have a family history of gallbladder disease/stones, kidney stones, fatty liver and diabetes. I had a bout of gastritis exactly a year ago and had an ultra sound of my gallbladder to rule out gallstones and the results came back normal. I can't see a doctor for a week and am afraid that I will have to go to the emergency room before I go. What could it be?
BTW, I haven't had any signs of jaundice or pale stools.

I don't mean to scare you, but you need to get this checked out right away. I would suggest maybe seeing another doctor just to see if he comes to the same conclusion. I'm not sure what this could be though...let me suggest you to start researching if you have an hernia but I honestly can't think of much. Good luck.

diabetes causes kidney problems, avoid sugar and high amounts of carbohydrates.
check your blood sugar 2 hours after eating.
