question help: i think my kidneys are hurting? - Help.com

oh, and another question, what are some reasons for my kidneys to be hurting anyway??

I had kidney stones and what you describe here is that you most likely have them too. Instead of urine exam, have an ultrasound, or better yet, X-ray and see a specialist ASAP. If it gets worse, it will be life threatening.

Go see a doctor. :)

thank you guys, i didnt think it would a be kidney stone cuz my dad has them and he actually throws up from the pain. and its isnt exactly painful, its more so annoying.

It’s important that you get yourself checked out by a doctor.

Don’t overdo the cranberry juice. Just 2 glasses a day is sufficient. Too much can actually cause tooth decay as most juices are actually high in sugar. Combine sugar with the acidity of cranberries and you have a powerful tooth enamel destroyer. Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day though. It’s a good idea to rinse your mouth with water after drinking high sugar fruit juices.

If you are on a “lite” version, with aspartame or other sweetener.. consider the possible effects of those chemicals too. There have been studies linking these chemicals to other nerve and brain disorders. Personally, I would always opt for the most natural products you can find. You can brush your teeth but you can’t brush your nervous system.

To get back to the question, never ignore any unusual kidney symptoms. Most likely nothing to worry about, but the only person who can say is a doctor.

thank youu. :]

do you think it can wait until the middle of next year maybe?

Why wait?

If you wait.. you will worry and could cause damage if something simple is left untreated.

true, i just think that will be the only time available at my family’s doctor :|

Any doctor will be able to give you a quick check up. Check with your family if you are in US and what the score might be on insurance etc. If you’re at college, there should be access to some kind of student health care centre.

If there’s something needs treating, it needs doing sooner rather than later.

You can always go to your family doctor for further advice later if you feel you need it.

alright thank youu :]

Not all kidney stones problems have the same symptom. It starts with being “just annoying”. You need to go and have an X-ray done. Don’t wait.

I hope you feel better soon! Let us know how you get along and holler if you need any more help. Good luck x
