Question 1

have kidney pain, right side it is now radiating down leg, urgency with urination, any suggestions?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor ASAP: You might have a kidney infection, blockage or stone. Diabetes and high blood pressure can cause kidney disease. Your symptoms should be checked out as soon as possible and treated. I assume that you are taking Methotrexate for your arthritis. This medicine can affect your kidneys. You can ask your doctor if there are other treatment options available for your condition.

Question 2

sharp pain in left pelvic area maybe even kidney ...pain so sharp it travels down my left leg to my knee what could cause this?

Accepted Answer

Different possibil..: Pelvic pain may relate to pelvic inflammatory disease, esp as you mention having vaginal discharge. Other reasons include kidney infections and kidney stone disease. Need a doctor's evaluation.  Possible disc disease, although less likely, given your young age.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

I : I am not sure what is causing this. But if you have back pain, pain radiating down your legs, progressive leg weakness and problems with your bowels and bladder this could be 
consistent with a cauda equina syndrome (a nerve in the lower spine gets compressed). If this is acute, please get seen at the er right away. If this has been there for a long time, please pick up the phone and call your doctor now.  Please do not put off getting medical care.  God bless.

Accepted Answer

Lumbar radiculopathy: Hi!
kidney pain can mimic pain from the nerves that exit the spine; one difference is that pain from the nerves can radiate into the leg(s).  Inflammation of these nerves is caused "sciatica" or "lumbar radiculopathy".  
These symptoms are often evaluated with a urine analysis and a CT scan or MRI.
