Polycystic Kidney Disease & Pain
by: NM on Mon, Apr 23 2007

About a year ago I was diganosed with Polycystic kidney disease. I have blood in my urine all the time and suffer from chronic UTI’s. I am in pain all the time and now have pain running down my left leg. They say there is no cure and there is nothing they can do for me. I am 36 years old and a single mother of 4 children. I feel like I can’t do the things I should with my children because I am always in pain. I have severe high blood pressure and problems with my bladder now. I take blood pressure meds, wear a patch for my bladder, and all depending on my pain I have tylenol with codiene, vicoden, and morphine. If anyone knows anything about this disease please let me know if it is common for me to be in so much pain.
