<s>[INST] i have had pain in my kydney area, for about 3 weeks, cant get comfortable in bed, I can sleep in a reclyner and it doesnt bother me. I went to two different doctors that treat this as if it is a muscle, both gave me steriod shots, and one gave me a steriod prescription. I was on vacation all week and anywhere i tried to sleep caused pain, and its a sharp pain. I feel like ive got no where so far. i also look to have swelling in my left rib area. i have not had any trouble peeing.
