    I had lower back pain for a while about 12 years ago when I was youngish.

    Ignored it for like a week because I thought I just slept weird.

    Then one day I asked someone to take me to the walk-in since it was getting worse.

    It was a Sunday so they were all closed, but by that time I was starting to shake. Asked to go to the ER.

    Once in the ER I’m sweating, shivering and shaking. Doctor takes one look at me and bumps me to the front of the line. Takes me in and immediately says I look like I’m going through septic shock. Puts me on IV antibiotics and morphine for the pain which was incredible at that point.

    Apparently I had a UTI which led to a bladder infection and eventually worked its way up to my kidneys and then poisoned my blood. Another week of 1hr per day IV antibiotics pumping through me and I was okay.

    If it weren’t Sunday I possibly could have died.

    So yeah, probably go see a doctor.

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

    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

    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?

    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.

      Absolutely drink a lot of water. One general starting point I read awhile back, focusing on people predisposed to kidney stones, was to divide your weight by 2, and drink that amount in ounces every day. If you exercise, it recommended 1 liter/hour, and that didn’t count towards your daily water needs.

      Also, along with cranberry juice, add some lemon juice to the water at least once per day. This will also help with breaking up stones and keeping them from forming. You can keep the juice in an ice tray in the freezer to make it a bit more handy. The bottled lemon juice is terrible compared to fresh, at least in the US.

        Agreed, but I recently found something almost as good as fresh without the storage issues. My friend introduced me to total lemon (not an ad), and it’s great! It’s like crystalized lemons, and immediately comes to life in liquid. I’ve been adding it to my fish instead of cutting up lemons and hoping I use it all, and I love it!

    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.

    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.
