Going to a doctor isnt really an option atm if anyone could help me that would be great im kind of freaking out thanksAnswer:Only imaging and a lab panel would be able to definitively tell if there is an issue with your kidneys or ureter.Given the length of time this has been occurring, I doubt that it is a stone.Also, the kidneys are located on either side of the vertebral column; in your description, you did not mention whether or not that is the case.......

Answer:
Only imaging and a lab panel would be able to definitively tell if there is an issue with your kidneys or ureter. Given the length of time this has been occurring, I doubt that it is a stone. Also, the kidneys are located on either side of the vertebral column; in your description, you did not mention whether or not that is the case. I'm also assuming that there has been no trouble or pain during urination, since you did not mention that as a symptom.
All-in-all, I don't think it's a kidney problem. However, it's very hard to tell online. The best option is to get to the doctor. If the problem is a lack of insurance, tell the doctor about the issue. Many times, a doctor will cut the cost of the office visit and if medication is needed, they often have "free samples."
