Question 1

i have a duplex drainage system on my left kidney and for years i have suffered from kidney pain which affects me every morning. are they related?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: A duplex draing system is unlikely to be the cause of the pain.  See your urologist for another opinion.  Ther eis a rare controversial condition of a pelvic kidney where you can tack the kidney further up high in the body and that will relieve kidney pain.  However, it is very unlikely that this is your situation

Cough: I would see a doctor today. May be bronchitis or a pneumonia and with the kidney pain, I would check it out.

my period is roughly 9 days late and i have done 3 pregnancy tests on separate days, one done this morning and all are negative. i have been getting what feels like kidney pain but because i have fibromyalgia i take 4 to 6 tramacet a day to help pain?

Accepted Answer

Hormonal imbalance: Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD.

Question 6

what causes kidney pain?

Accepted Answer

Renal capsule: Kidney pain is caused classically because of distension or stretching of the renal capsule.  This happens with blockages (stones) and infection most commonly.  A kidney stone not causing blockage or simple cystitis (uti without kidney involvement) does not typically cause pain.  The pain is mediated via the vagus nerve which explains the associated nausea, sweating, etc.

Question 7

what are common causes of kidney pain?

Accepted Answer

Many possible causes: The kidneys are located in the back just under the rib cages on both sides.  Pain from the kidneys may result from blockage from kidney stones, or sometimes by congenital narrowed areas of portions of the ureters (kidney tubes), or by other issues such as advanced cancer blocking the ureters.  Infections involving the kidney can also cause pain.  Sometimes muscle or nerve pain can affect the areas

Question 8

what could cause my back / kidney pain?

Accepted Answer

Depends: The possibilities are too numerous to detail here. A physician will need to evaluate this.

Question 9

i'm having kidney pain when lying down, what is the cause?

Accepted Answer

Needs to be checked: It needs to be evaluated, as it may be due to
1kidney infection
2stone in the kidney
3tumer in kidney
4pain not related to kidney but from another source.

Question 10

does diabetes cause kidney pain?

Accepted Answer

Usually not: Always try to distinguish between "kidney" pain and back pain. The kidney lies behind lots of back muscles that are usually more likely to cause pain than the kidneys themselves. Of course problems like kidney stones could cause kidney pain but diabetes is not know to be a cause of kidney pain despite its ability to cause kidney disease.
