enlarged lymph nodes

Hi everyone 

wondering if anyone has been in the same situation as myself im only young and the past few weeks i had suffered on and of left flank pain ?infection. with high temps and tiredness.i had 3 courses of oral antibiotics and the pain has not subsided. i ended up in A&E had a CT without contrast and they found enlarged para renal and para - arotic lymphnodes. im currerntly awaitng a CT with contrast as an urgent refferal. i have been given no antibiotics as on the first CT they could see i had a recent chest infection which i was adament i have not. They explained that the antibiotics must of covered my chest infection and i never realised but has not covered my left kidney. They have also sent a urine culture off to see if that can indicate anything. 

 

has anyone been in the same situation as me as my head is doing overtime 

thank you x
