Black Specks In Pee, Following Pain

[num1habsfan]

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to place this under, but I'm pretty worried right now. It started Saturday afternoon, randomly got jabbing pains in the mid-stomach/back, slightly lower than the gall bladder. Then the pains disappeared, and I noticed a lot of garbage in my pee. I had a similar attack yesterday (Sunday), again the sharp pains, followed by nothing, and this time i seen a black speck on the bottom of the toilet after I peed. Again today, same process (but not as severe pain). I used the pan to collect and again noticed something black.

I asked all my friends who had they gall bladders removed, and they all said even at their worst they never passed gall stones, so that makes me now certain it can't be them.

Might this be kidney stones instead? Should I go to see a doctor?

Everyone on this forum knows I have a very high pain tolerence, so it's not an issue of not being able to handle the pain, I just dont want to make things worse (if they could get worse?) by not gtetting checked out...

Yeah, I would get it checked. It could be something related to the kidneys. Hope you feel better soon!

I honestly did not get the chance to go in today. So I will tomorrow... I've been peeing in the collection pan and earlier this afternoon it looked like someone sprinkled fine-grained sand into it. Just now I spotted some of the 'sand' again, plus a tiny brown blob that looked hairy (but big enough to notice). I've also been having some serious nausea and have been feverish all day. It's horrible, I hate getting new problems for the first time =(

Are you still collecting and are you going to take it with you to the doctor? They might be able to run some tests to see what the "sand" is. I wonder if you might have kidney stones or an infection of some kind.

This needs to get bumped to the very top of your priority list. Kidney infections can become very serious very quickly. It either needs to be dealt with ASAP or eliminated as the problem and whatever is causing the problem needs to be found. Nausea + fever + passing something in the urine is not a good combination.

If you can't see your doctor soon, go to an ER or walk-in clinic. As another member said, this IS a very serious condition. Sounds like you're unfortunately having complications of a kidney infection (the fever, nausea, and pain you said you've been having are huge indicators). Are you experiencing any other symptoms, such as pain/pressure in your lower back?

I hope you feel better soon!
