Hello, This last month I've had awful back pain in the kidney area which prompted me to use a urine test stick, which flagged up a strong amount of non visible blood. I've lost my appetite and felt sick after a month I've lost a stone in weight. Sent for a scan on my kidneys in case it was stones, it's not stones, but only my kidneys were scanned.

Even though the blood has been there for over 5 weeks (home check, surgery checked it, hospital checked it) my doctor is dismissing it as a false result and told me to do a diet diary for a few weeks when I inquired about finding out what was causing the blood.

I feel fobbed off and dismissed, wouldn't a lab microscope test prove it one way or the other?

I've since found a lump in my groin( near hip bone, midway under belly button) but I'm put off phoning the surgery again, they've only done phone appointments over the pandemic.

Should I really push this? I don't know why a GP wouldn't further test to find a cause? Not knowing isn't helping my stress levels.
