For a long time I have been drinking 4-5 normal sized bottles of water a day. I only urinate 2-3 times a day. When talking to my HP I was told lucky you??.. I ended up in A&e last year after my Gp thought I was having a stroke but after a few tests I was told I was dehydrated. No reason for it. I then started to get 'scratching' like pain in my kidney area and when urinating quite smelly and colour of a strong apple juice. I was sent for an ultrasound last Saturday and rang GP today. Receptionist looked to see if doctor had seen scan then made me a telephone consultation. Should I be worried? Do they tell you 'bad' news over the phone?
