extreme flank pain kidneys Posted: 04-16-08 09:58am


I keep having extreme flank pain, wave after wave, usually after I have been lying down a couple of hours. The pain seems to gradually let up after urination, but begins building up again after Iie down, thereby starting the process all over again. It wakes me up all night a couple of times a week, with sometimes having to go urinate 4 or 5 times to relieve the pain enough to sleep. The pain is generally worse on the left side, and will also hurt worse with a deep breath or sudden movement. It peaks as I urinate then slowly begins to subside. I can't find out anything about this or anything similar. Has this ever happened to someone else? It has been going on for about 6 to 8 months off and on. It is frustrating and I'm trying to avoid the doctors offices especially since I can't find a single site with anything similar.

Hi and welcome to ehealth I highly suggest you make an appointment with your doctor. I'm not a doctor but I have had problems with my kidneys for a very long time. It can be a variety of things for example: kidney stones, UPJ obstruction, infection, etc.. You really need to get some tests done (ultrasound, blood and urine) to find out the cause of your symptoms. It sounds like a blockage but again I'm not a doctor, I've been through this before. Sorry I couldn't offer more. Please keep up posted. Best wishes..

Welcome Nobody likes to have to go to the Doctors, but sometimes it is necessary. Google UPJ obstruction and you might find some similarities. Everyone is different and some obstructions are in different locations. The pain may be from the urine backing up into your kidney. You should get it checked. Let us know how you do. Good Luck.

I am having the same problem here though I usually only have to get up once a night. The pain is really bad if I breathe too deeply and it's in both sides of my back. After urination it begins to go away. I'm having an ultrasound on the 9th and am worried it could be PKD. You really should go to the doctor and have it checked out. I hate to go but am tired of the pain, it's been going on for a couple of years now. I'll try to remember to post back and let you know what they say. Good luck!

I did see the doctor and had a CAT scan. It showed nothing. He believes I have Interstitial Cystitis. That's not really a bad thing just a painful thing. Read up on it -see what you think. Go to the doctor!! Best of luck! Dina

IC is very painful and can become worse over time. You can post in the urinary and bladder forum for more help on IC.
