I had the cystoscopy (probe of bladder & Ureters), and there were no tumors! Yay!
They did find that I have a double kidney on the right side, and it has a double Ureter that flows into one before emptying into my bladder. This is causing my frequent & urgent urination. I do have a cyst in my right kidney, but it is too small to see what type it is yet. We repeat CT in 6 months, and go from there. Found no reason for the blood in my urine yet though.
Also had an MRI of my lumbar spine. It shows my pelvis is tilted, and has been for some time. It is putting pressure on that right kidney, and bladder.
All of my docs have been asking about accidents or injuries, and I couldn't think of any. I finally had a memory of a time when I was 8 or 10 years old. I was at an amusement park with school mates, and myself and 2 other girls rode my favorite ride, the scrambler.
This ride goes around and around, and throws you into the inside of the car, and then to the outside of the car on the way back out. Well, I was on the outside, and was being crushed by the other two. I remember feeling a burning pain in my collar bone. I turned so that my body was twisted, and so that they would hit me square in the back instead of on my side for the rest of the ride.
Physical therapist believes that this is what twisted my pelvis, and injured my shoulder/collar bone. I was young, bones were malleable, so they didn't completely break, but healed crooked.
This has caused 50% loss of strength on my right side, and one of my legs to be shorter, so it is likely why I fall a lot.
Next stop is the new neurologist to try to pin down my cognitive issues.
I'm getting answers, but it is a slow process. Wish me patience.
