Ask Lemmy

Internet is not the right place to ask these kind of questions! Go see a doctor!

Go see a doctor as soon as you can. Also, drink plenty of water.

Kidneys are right there. Get checked out please.

That's the sin.

UTI or a problem with your ureter. Get it checked out, I had an artery wrapped around mine, and I got extreme pain leaning back starting with puberty, didn't get it checked out, eventually had a mass of scar tissue removed in my 20s, not fun. I had to go in when it caused a stone to form, and the doctor was so intimidated by it he sent me to a regional specialist.

get your kidneys checked out

source: i am missing a kidney now

Doctor infection. I am not a kidney.

U r pregante

As everyone else has said: kidney issue. If its an infection (you should definitely get this checked out), you're going to need antibiotics. Drink a lot of water - like, a lot - and introduce cranberry juice to your drinking habits (won't fix the infection but there's some evidence its preventative).

If its a stone then get ready for the worst pain in the world but also drink a lot of water to help break it up/aid its passage through.

TL;DR - get a GP appointment and start drinking a fuck ton of water.

Sounds like the end is near. Better update your will (I'm missing from it!!)

Seriously!!!! For heck sake don't ask the internet, go see your doctor or go to a clinic or something.

Kidney infection. I am not a doctor.

Center of your lower back? Can't crack your spine, and massaging the muscles does nothing?

Like everyone else said, kidney infection. And you want to take this very seriously! Drink LOTS of water, avoid energy drinks and sugary beverages and all that junk. Cause if you don't, the infection WILL GET WORSE. It can get so bad you can't even walk without being double over in pain!

Also, damage to your kidneys is CUMULATIVE. Get lazy about staying hydrated again? It'll come back with a vengeance!

Kidney stone? A friend who had it mention similar symptoms.

It really might be your kidneys. Do you feel it in your spine or more to the side?

You could also try and do some stretches everyday.

Kidney infection, drink a heap of water.. kidney stones (for me) start with a tingling pain in the groin and moves back and forth to the kidneys

Sex?

How long has this been occuring? Do you only feel the pain upon waking up from sleep? Because that's a strange detail tbh. What is your pain level? Is it an ache like soreness or is it a sharp pain?

The pee-secreting gland that moves the pee into the kidney to be washed and warmed up before being passed into the bladder - a little dime-sized gland call the "Penguinal Class Action Monitor" - can sometimes become overactive and try to secrete too much urea at once, faster than the kidney can accept it. This causes something of a backlog, the medical term being "St. Bartholomew's Lump Reversal". It causes the gland to swell up with pee, something it's not really equipped for given that it's a gland and not a hollow chamber like the bladder, all while the kidney simply refuses to take even the normal a mount of pee because it's guarding against possible infection upstream. The term for this is the "Immune Raster Verifier Cadence", and this is likely the cause of the back pain you mentioned.

I am, in fact, a doctor. I have a degree in Major Arterial Anaphylaxis from the University of Chechetchistserster in England. The professor who taught me said I was the best student he'd ever had. Keep in mind, though, that he also once taught a little-known scientist by the name of Isaac Newton. Sooooooo....... 🤷‍

Treatment: drink lots of alcohol and eat lots of cheese while watching copious amounts of pornography. It's important you don't move around too much by, say, going to work or doing chores, because the alcohol needs to be able to settle around your glands to cure them.

Either that or kidney stones.
