“Kidney pain?”
I would like to know what you think is wrong with my kidney. I woke up and it is swelled, I have pain in my flank as well.

Pain in the side and flank can have many causes. Oftentimes, individuals think they have kidney pain when the pain is actually coming from the gallbladder, intestines, muscular strain, or even a pinched nerve. If you see blood in the urine with the pain, then it is more likely to be kidney-related. My advice is to seek evaluation from your primary care provider.
You should seek a visit with your PCP to assist you in determining what exactly is swelling.
You need to see your doctor. Thanks
Sounds like Pyelonephritis, usually a bacterial infection of the kidney. You will have to see a doctor for antibiotics and maybe even a kidney ultrasound to make sure there is not an infected kidney stone.
