hurtin kids

Queefer · Jul 4, 2004

I thought I had pulled my lower back but now I'm fairly certain it's my kidneys. They've been hurtin for about a week and it feels somewhat like a sprained back that isn't healing. Have you guys had this happen to ya before and how'd you get them better?

I think that sensation is usually tightening of lower back muscles.

What are you on now?

If you really think it could be kidneys:
1) Drink MORE water
2) See a Doc
3) Don't waste your money on Cranberry "anything"

No its not the back its problably the kidneys

If it feels unusual and your 1st thought is kidney its problably the kidney,

dr says drink 3 galona a day for 4 days yup 3 gallons and fluch it out , he said thats the only way to help it unless of course you wanna stop the gear.

doc is a friend of mine. hes a crazy ass old man but knows his shit.

i'm gonna have to agree with Xcel on this one....

there's a saying when it comes stuff like this... "if you hear hooves (sp?) think horses, not zebras"

meaning that its if you think something is wrong, go with what is more probable at first... it could be either... try treating your lower back first, if it still persists then think about kidneys...

backs can be tricky... dont always hurt right when you injure it... sometimes they take a while to show symptoms

Pain....Kidneys ?

As an RN,a little advice : see a doctor. Maybe you pulled or strained a lower back muscle. Or you have a disc problem. With kidneys....well a urinary infection will make it hard to piss. Piss may also have a cloudy texture. If you have a kidney stone,you will NEVER forget the pain!! It feels like someone is STABBING you in the groin with an icepick! You will literally double over with pain. I've heard female RNs say its the closest men can get to experiencing pain similar in intensity to childbirth. I had a kidney stone a few yrs ago.....will never forget it..........
