Son having pain in kidneys for about 24 hours what do I do?

I've had quite a bit of back pain...that migrates....right now it's in my upper back area...

It's difficult to tell if it's the kidneys...or more muscle/tendon related.

I would make sure he's drinking a lot of water...and other detoxing....

I'm sorry I don't have much to offer.

BUT - if it is worrying you..and doesn't subside...you can take him to his Dr. to have it checked out.

Are you able to email his LL Dr.?

I had that just the other day. Ouch! I'm sure for me it was just the lovely randomness of Lyme pain. But there was that moment where I wondered if it was a kidney infection. Then I remembered I'm on antibiotics and have Lyme disease and no fever. Haha!

The pain for me was so bad, on bactrim, that it sent me to the ER. The Dr. was convinced I had a kidney stone. I know now, what I didn't know then, I was herxing horribly. I'd suggest upping his detoxing, and if it doesn't clear, it is well worth a trip to urgent care for peace of mind.

Lyme bacteria is filtered out via the kidneys?

This is news to me could someone please provide a link?

Navigator - I don't see a post saying that....I will re-read.

I had kidney pain also. It went away and then it came back and then went away and then came back and then it went away and didn't come back.

Lyme sucks!!

So sorry your son is going through this. I know it is hard for a Momma to watch.

Huddie - what I've also done when not sure what to do, is call the 24/7 nurse associated with my insurance company. They have a list of questions they ask you. Its free to call of course - I got some great direction this way. They sent me to the ER when I had the kidney pain. I could have sat it out, but, I'm glad I went to rule other things out. Love the input re: the eastern medicine and detoxing. This journey is deep stuff. It asks us to look, or me at least, some deep underlying issues - deep internal cleanse and shifting of outdated belief systems and feelings about ourself.

Wow thanks Multiface,

I never knew that about health insurance companies. Great intel!

His pain seems to be better now - lots of detox, foot bath, and tiger balm.

The Eastern detox article was fascinating, the usual stuff about how we store trauma, etc... but I didn't know the re-experience aspect of it while detoxing. Makes so much sense.

Yes, this is definitely a lesson in 'Know thyself' - lots of alone and down time.

Thanks!

Good to hear that your son's pain has subsided. ( I must be in a giddy mood because I can't stop laughing in regards to Multifacetedme's abbreviated name-Multiface. The visual of it all. I hope it's ok that I said this Multifacetedme. Such a far cry from being multifaceted. It reminds me of when I was being called Buzzly.)

I also get intense migrating pain in Areas of my back. It is usually a signal for me to sit or lie down for a half an hour. Can appear a little odd while at Starbucks, but hey!

All these tweeks and knots are quite stressful at times. The haze in the maze. We all deserve a medal.

Compartmentalized trauma. Very interesting. We all have little pockets of trauma neatly packed away in the recesses of our unconscious mind.
The right triggers bring them to the surface. They can only be suppressed for so long.

Thank you guys,

Multifacetedme, Apologies. Lyme vision. I thought you were multifacedme, so I shortened it. Multi-faceted makes much more sense.

Glad it gave you a giggle Buzz, the two of us would be laughing forever. I often visualize most of the handles, except for Blueberry, who always makes me want a muffin.

Jenny, Thank you. You are a sweetie. I got the stuff in him and he slept. Love that my friends on here all responded and the LLMD never called us back. His office said he would call us, or they would call for him when he was done with last patient. Geesh, if you don't call back for a kid...

I thought everything (entire blood supply) was filtered through kidneys.

I get urinary flare/kidney area pain on multiple abx so I'm assuming it's the bacteria or the antibiotics being filtered. Which could be case for Huddie's son - could be meds or die-off or both.

Maybe consider some detox tea with nettle leaf or uva ursi. My fav (and I know I told you about this one already!) is Traditional Medicinals organic LEMON everyday detox. The regular kind does not have the burdock root and tastes not as good. The Lemon kind also has the nettle leaf.

I've had that, and it randomly hit me yesterday. Like I need a reminder of it. =/

Detoxing is the only thing that has helped me with it. I use Yogi detox tea, cranberries (although watch the sugar in dehydrated fruit or juices), I drink this "fake coffee" (Pero) that has chicory root in it (helps to detox kidneys) as well. There's zero caffeine in it.

That's all I can think if right now though, sorry.

Huddie,

Thank goodness your little man slept. What a relief for you.

It sure is a desperate feeling to need to talk to someone and this barrier is before you. If you call back you get flagged as a nuisance. I echo your words Huddie: This board is a lifesaver.

It is very touching when someone replies that they can't help but that they are sure that someone who can will be along shortly. It makes me think of someone lying on the road while a total stranger holds their hand and comforts them as they wait for an ambulance.

It brings a lump to my throat. Not the kind that extra detoxing will cure. We have all experienced that moment of standing/lying there and feeling so alone, verging on panic and despair, needing just that little nudge (or fudge and cookies, some pie perhaps) , just a little helping hand, comfort or reassurance. It doesn't take much sometimes to send us over the deep end, but it also doesn't take much ro bring us back from the brink. This is a great virtual sanctuary. An invaluable resource centre. We are so lucky.

Hi Huddie,
We are hanging in there. No, the moon was NOT kind to us this month. Lol.

I just thought if another thing that may be if help. Caster oil packs.

Buzz, that's why it's one of a mods main thing, to recognize whoever posts so that they know they aren't being ignored. Sometimes someone's post slips through, but we do our best.

And it's not that mods know everything, only that we are here to help people feel the "community feeling" here, to guide them to any information that we do know, and, of course as rule keepers.
