Hi there,I used to get a lot of water/kidney infection and the lower back pain was horrendous,if I hadn't known any different I would have thought I was in labour.

i have had four children and I can honestly say I felt like I was having a 5th child.

Hope you are not suffering the same problems.

Take care,Sandy.

Hi, i have scoliosis with secondary curve, plus degenerative discs in neck so in constant pain. I was diagnosed with lupus a year ago. Im in constant pain and my docs are use less as they keep swapping about my meds so never know if i coming or going. Hope U get sorted soon, take care.

Funny the last month or so i have been waking up early with pains where my kidney are and after using the toilet it subsides. However went to GP was a waste of time. It is always best to check with your consultant at least they know what LUPUS is. Most GP have no idea.

i wake up with serious pain in the back. i think is normal with lupus it is a pain stricken illness but u can tell ur gp to prescribe painkillers. i pray you get better

Hi there, I have exactly the same lower pain at the moment, I agree it feels like labour pains! I've been on 4 lots of antibiotics and still not eased, saw a different doc and he thinks its shingles, have recently had 3 blisters down my left side! Still none the wiser really, back to the docs for me asap! Get well soon x

Hi sylve i had 4lots of antibiotics 2 it fixed my urnie but not the back problem ur blisters sound really sore, hope u get answers. Soon 2 x

Thanku! My antibiotics also solved my urine infection but not the lower back pain! I had an ultrasound to check if the kidneys were enlarged and they were normal in size but not sure if this means that the kidneys are all clear. I get lots of fluid retention on ankles and stomach! Its strangely comforting that u understand what I'm talking about! I'll b sure to let u know if I get any clearer answers! And btw, heat tends to help! X

Just a small fact as I used to suffer week in and week out with urinery infections. The only thing that I found took down the inflammation was Parsley tea and lots of it!

I hope you all start to feel better soon.x
