I think my liver, or possibly my kidneys are failing.

I started getting these pains in my right and left side above the pelvis 2 years back I think. I have no idea why I never got both of these things checked. I must be the biggest dumbass to make these decisions. I don't know why they started happening, but everytime I drink certain alcohols, or eat fatty foods, or sometimes just out of odd occasions, I get a pain roughly 10-20 minutes after, and either one of the two, or both sides of my stomach start to hurt to the point where I have to lay down just to ease the pain.

It's obvious I need to go see a doctor, I just need to get my insurance switched because the current insurance i'm under will completely fuck me over if I get this checked out, or god forbid have to go to the ER.

I don't know why i'm posting this here but I guess I just want to hear your guy's reaction to this.

This has to be the equivalent to asking "What should I do if my foot has grown blue boils and there's discharge coming out of my eyeballs?" on yahoo answers.

Surgical tools, chlorofor and a bathtub full of ice, and you could have a new set for free.

Does it hurt when you piss? If not, chances are it's not your kidneys.

No it doesn't....

I'm struggling to think of a worse place to ask for medical advice... My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Forum maybe?

Switch that insurance and see a doctor, hopefully you get better soon.

..after alcohol and/or fatty foods....

sounds like acid stomach/ulceration

You drink lots of carbonated beverages?

If your pancreas or liver had been failing for 2yrs, you'd start to have serious side effects more than the ones you've listed.

It could be anything - stomach ulcer (though you'd be in more pain), acid reflux, severe trapped wind, intolerance to some food stuff or other, hell you could have overdone it one time on spicy food and damaged some of your stomach lining.

Go to a doctor if it's bothering you that much.

just avoid webMD, their diagnoses for everything always ends up being cancer.

america is great for so many things but healthcare is just so desperately shocking its untrue

asked what surprised him most about the world, the Dalai Lama supposedly replied

The Dalai Lama wrote:“Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”

So deep.

Although thinking about it every creature must be anxious about the future. Just a survival thing I reckon

the Dalai Lama also gave up his entire life to systematic and universal self-denial principles in the hope of an elevated mentality

for someone to whom balance is so important the public perception of him is remarkably one-sided eh
