I was just diagnosed with LPHS. After 8 months of horrible pain, nausea, kidney infections, kidney stones, and just feeling like I have gotten hit by a bus- I have finally found a diagnosis that fits. I’m 16, so I’m still treated by pediatric doctors. My pain management doctor in Atlanta had abandoned me before I got this diagnosis, and a pain clinic in Boston had turned me away. I had to go in search for something that fit, and I finally found that something: Loin Pain Hematuria Syndrome (LPHS). After exiting my Atlanta adult nephrologist’s office this morning, it was like I was walking on air. I have finally got a diagnosis that fits and he is a man with a plan. Dr. Handelsman was so helpful and I know he could see my relief. He has treated 3 LPHS cases, so he is what could be considered the Atlanta expert. I highly recommend him if you have think you have LPHS and live in the South East.

I finally have something with a one of treatment, and I can’t wait to get started. Anyone else have LPHS? If so, how have they treated it?
