Kidney Injury

My kidney was ruptured during a ESWL procedure 2yrs. ago. I was hospitalized 4 days and had to be given 2 pints of blood. 2 weeks after being released I returned to the emergency room with severe stomach pain bloating and diarrhea.

Stayed in the hospital overnight and was given potassium. I have gradually gotten better but am still having problems. Can’t seem to find a doctor that wants to help me. All they can come up with is IBS but I never had this before the hemmorrhage. Still have pain in left side but no sign of more stones.

Should I see a nephrologist? I’ve certianly been everywhere else and have just recently heard of these.
