What could cause adrenal pain in people with many fractures?
Patient: When younger, had a super-chiropractor who was always adjusting me for thyroid and adrenals. Now 54, never been to an endocrinologist, have an intense, aching pain in adrenal area. have had hematuria, stopped when drank more clear water. Could I have something serious? 4,5,6 or 7 fractures in back as well! Thank you. Doctor: Hello. Thank you for writing us here.hematuria is commonly seen in case of kidney stones. You might had taken calcium supplements for the fractures, isn't it? most likely your kidneys tried to excrete the excess of calcium which ultimately got deposited and causes pain in the lower back/ kidney area and also in the flank region. I would suggest you to have an ultrasound done for the diagnosis and also drink plenty of water so if you have stone in kidney, it could be excreted out. I wont suggest any medication for now as it would require special investigations to be done. you just need to drink 5 to 10 liter of water everyday to get relief from your symptoms.best regards,Dr Gunjan
