Kidney & urinary problems

2018-06-12 14:38:31
I've had a pressure in the kidney area of the left side of my back for over a month. It is not painful, just very uncomfortable. I've had chronic UTIs for a couple of years. I've also had kidney stones removed several years ago. I am an insulin dependent diabetic, and a heart patient. I'm 69 years old.
