Hi! Kidney stones are sometimes caused by too much calcium in the diet or by drinking too few fluids. You need to drink a lot of water. Apply a hot compress for 20 mins. at a time. It can be applied to your front and your backside. A hot bath can work wonders for the pain.If you can, drop some natural essentials oils (5 of one or each)into the water and some olive oil.You can use:lavender oil or the flowers themselves(will help with pain and is the easiest to find),fennel, orange or chamomile.

pain in the lower back could be a kidney stone, but it doesn't correlate with the blood in the trunk. \n\ngo to your doctor!

The blood in your urine is probably from the kidney stone.  The kidney stone could be moving which is why you may have pain.  You could also have an ovarian cyst.  If this is the case the Yasmin will help.  I was on this birth control and felt really well when on it.  If you are concerned go back to your doctor, or if pain is getting worse or accompanied by other symptoms such as vomiting, fever, go to the ER.

see a dr. It could be something to do with your kidneys. I waited 2 weeks with a back ache & then I finally ended up in the ER with other complications. I ended up with a severe kidney infection. I'm in the health care field so I should know better. Don't wait anything that is out of the ordinary should be checked out.

Sorry.. you do not give enough information.. Have you been working outside in the heat every day? doing lifting? what have you been doing? have you been drinking enough water? There are so many things to know first.. \n\nSince I do not know any of the above.. I would suggest drink plenty of water.. as far as the back aches? are they really back aches or aches in the kidney area which sometimes appear to be back aches? again.. not enough drinking of water.. I would suggest loading yourself down with water(8 glasses minimum a day) and see what happens for a period of two days and if not better.... better to go to get a medical check up\n\nCheck with this URL and see if anything ther fits you?\n\nwww.webmd.com\n\nwww.medlineplus.com\n\nwww.merck.com/mrkshared/mmanual/home.jsp

Yes, or it could be pain from endometriosis, or from a bacterial infection.  Lay off the sausage until your kidney infection is gone!

As others have suggested, this is often caused by low blood potassium levels, and can be 'cured' by increasing your potassium intake. BUT, it could also be a sign of low calcium, and either condition can be an indication of early kidney disease. See your doctor.\n\nAlso, if you are taking certain medications, they could be causing it as well. Prednisone, for example, is a common culprit of depleting calcium and potassium, and diuretics are bad for depleting potassium.

It hurts like hell!!  In my case it desolved before I got the pleasure and joy of actually peeing it out but that little stone ripping it's way through your kidney is one heckof a trip through pain.  Ask your doctor for some hefty pain killers before it starts too badly.

A kidney infection or medically known as Pyelonephritis is caused by Strep infection which is a bacteria (E. coli, klebsiella, etc.) If you have one and havent seen a Dr. I urge that you do ASAP..Kidney infections are dangerous & nothing to take lightly...If left untreated, they can cause blood poisoning, loss of a kidney, or perhaps even death!!!

I am an alternative medicinal therapist and an ex nurse and i can tell you that you DO have stones. Pain in the back is a common sign and so is blood in the urine. Stop worrying you don't have cancer. They can either dissolve them by sound waves or by tablets and they may remove them by an op(but they don't like to do this unless is becomes life threatening) You will get terrible pain if they try to leave the kidneys, so be prepared.If this happens get to the E R.\n\nGloria(BSYA)\ngloriashealth@btinternet.com

Firstly, one will have difficulty in breathing normally. There will be a lot of weird abdominal pain from the backside (near your hips) where your kidneys are. Moving will be hard and you cannot be able to stand in a upright position. Moreover, prior to this, your urine color changes to a dark yellow and you may have slight uneasy pricking senstation whenver u pass urine. I suggest if you are facing any of the above, kindly consult a doctor ASAP.

I had my first (and hopefully last) kidney stone a couple of months ago. It started out with a general upset stomach sort of thing - felt like I might have diarrhea. I took Pepto Bismol (bad idea) and threw up a couple of times (so hard that I burst several small blood vessels around my eyes - it looked like I had red freckles). The pain increased but was concentrated on my left side, just below my ribcage, both front and back. I couldn't be still - I couldn't stand, sit, lie down, lean over, kneel, crouch, lay on my back with my feet up on the wall - believe me, I tried every position I could think of. The pain became excruciating and I finally went to the emergency room (where I sat for several hours). They did a CT scan and it showed the kidney stone. By the time I met with a doctor, the pain had receded quite a bit. They gave me a prescription for Vicodin, instructions to make an appointment with a urologist, and a stupid little plastic funnel with a screen so I could strain my urine and catch the little bugger if I passed it on my own. I ended up having minor surgery to remove it two days later.\n\nThe urologist told me that I would feel the worst pain when the stone was leaving the kidney and entering the ureter, then when it passed over a bundle of blood vessels near my pelvic bone, again when it entered my bladder, and again when it exited my bladder and made its bid for freedom.\n\nSo that was the long answer to your question. The short answer is PAIN. Lots and lots of pain concentrated on one side or the other, often in your back. Excruciating pain that literally makes you beg for your mommy.
