My daughter is 18 and suffers from Ulcerative Colitis and and I is currently in flare and on steroids which are not helping much. The other day she suddenly experienced a sharp pain in the kidneys and for around 14 hours was passing blood in her urine. She went to A&E and they did a urine test and said they could not see an infection and to go to a proper hospital A&E which she did. This time they did bloods and urine and said they could not see anything but think it’s probably an infection and gave her both antibiotics and codeine to take. My daughter is not convinced it’s an infection as she has no fever or any other symptoms and her urine is back to normal, but she still gets this bad pain for 20 mins in the one kidney once a day. I was thinking it might be stones, but nothing really makes any sense and I was annoyed they did not scan her in A&E, they just wanted her out.
Anyone with any ideas, before I pay for the private route?
Thanks in advance!

Just one possible search option https://www.mycrohnsandcolitisteam.c...or%20infection.
Ring her specialist nurse would be first port of call
My wife spent 3 days in hospital with what they thought were kidney stones. She was is agony. She had every test going, but they found nothing.
She was discharged and went to her acupuncturist. He asked what she was doing before the pain started. She was out for a run. The pain started that evening. He correctly diagnosed sciatica. She'd trapped or aggravated a nerve during the run.
None of the doctors in the hospital had asked that simple question or even considered sciatica.
Not for one second suggesting this is what your daughter has, just pointing out that sometimes general hospitals and doctors aren't always the best.
She needs to see a specialist. Doesn't she have a consultant contact for her UC?
I wish you good luck and hope your daughter finds some respite soon.
