Kidney Pain?

[ktan49]

Afternoon everyone, hope you're all as well as can be.

Really struggling with this back pain now, its only on my right side.. half way up so I guess maybe kidney? What things do I have to look out for? I just don't want my kidney to take too much punishment Went for a walk with my son this morning and about 10 minutes in it started hurting quite a bit so had to cut it short. It's so frustrating !! This fibroscan on monday can't come quick enough..

Hi. What side is your pain on. Do you have any pain when going to the toilet? I suffer regularly with kidney infections, main symptoms are pain and increased frequency when going to the loo and bad back pain in one or both of the kidney areas.

It may be worth taking a sample into your gp to be tested. For more in depth information on kidneys it may worth taking a look at the kidney forum. Hope you feel better soon x

Well I've got pain both sides of lower back.. but the pain is also on my right side of back half way up. No pain when passing urine...frequency has increased. Its qlso bit darker than usual. Ok ill get in touch with gp to give a sample. Many thanks

It could also be pancreatitis. Best get yourself checked out asap.
