Re: dull ache around the kidney area.
 

my lease sort of expired 3 years ago - (no, I will not explain that comment) - everything else afterwards is just special time I get to have till they find out I'm still connected and disconnect me, like cable in a new apt. If what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, then I'm strong enough to outlive everyone on the board - but I think that saying's BS anyways.

in any case, I no longer drink booze - that was my biggest health hazard. It never caused this though -

I'm almost never sick and haven't been to a hospital for an emergency in 14 years - (at least not for myself) - suppose I'm a bit due for a checkup.

Re: dull ache around the kidney area.
 

you haven't had a medicinal checkup in AGES. you may be the sickest human being on the face of the earth, suffering from:

juvenile diabetes
lumberlung
hysterical pregnancy (a little bit)

nothing wrong w/ going to the ER though...i used to have a weekly routine--> wake up saturday/sunday, play 3 hrs of hockey, get stitches at friendly neighborhood ER.

i was there so often i dated one of the nurses for a month...

Re: dull ache around the kidney area.
 

Do you have lower back problems? I had a dull ache for over a month exactly where my right kidney is. I could have sworn the problem would be with my kidney, it was so localized. The doctors found nothing wrong with my kidneys, but said it was nerve pain associated with back pain.

Most likely kidney stones. The sooner you go and see urologist the better.

I hope to Christ for your sake this isn't the case. Somebody made a poll last year asking if one would prefer to pass a kidney stone or drink one ounce of another dudes semen. Some pretty tough guys who had passed kidney stones said that they would take the semen.

I have frequent kidney stones and sometimes they are dull.

Drink lots of water, see if that helps.

However, I'd recommend docs, especially if you get any racing heartbeat or bad headaches.

sound familiar?
enjoy!

i recommend cranberry juice and tons of percocet + finegren (sp?)

Re: dull ache around the kidney area.
 

also in that original i said regarding the possibility of a kidney stone:
"thankfully it has turned out to be unfounded.".

that was a premature conclusion and i went through hell like 2 days later when it finally moved. so awful.
