Back Pain

[sukki]

I have had terrible back pain for the past month. It is very uncomfortable and making me feel depressed. Is this a sympton of CKD? I am Stage 3a

It could be are you sure you don't have a UTI? best to get it checked out if you don't normally get back pain!

[sukki in reply to phillen]

Thank you phillen, I will get it checked out but excuse my ignorance what is a UTI?

[sukki in reply to sukki]

Hi phillen its ok, I have checked out UTIs, urinary tract infection. Will see my doctor this week. Thank you for your reply

[phillen]

UTi is a urinary tract infection you normally get burning sensations when passing urine not always though sometimes there are no symptoms but the infection can go up into the kidneys & cause pain! glad you are going to get it checked out

Hi phillen I have seen my GP and she says I have stretched the muscles in my lower back. I have to see an osteopath. Nothing to do with my kidneys I am pleased to say. Thank you for your help it is very much appreciated

[phillen]

Very pleased to hear this hope your back will soon get better.

[sukki in reply to noggs]

Thank you noggs. My doctor has recommended I see an osteopath and reassured me it has nothing to do with my CKD. I hope she is right in her diagnosis.
