Question 1

I have been experiencing lower back pain since Monday which has become progressively worse. I have also been drinking excessive amounts of water about one pint every one and a half hours or less. I have a lack of appetite and feel full most of the time. I visited my GP and they checked my urine and blood pressure which were normal. I am going for blood tests on Monday and will wait for the results. Do you know what could be causing these symptoms? Thank you Jack.

Question 2

In my urine report calcium oxalate was found and my doctor mentioned that in the future it could lead to kidney stones. Is this correct and how can I reduce the calcium oxalate?
