Question 1

what does it mean when your back pulsates from kidneys up?

Accepted Answer

What ?: Do you mean upper back muscle twitch? If yes, see if the area muscles are visibly twitching; that is not related with kidneys. Meanwhile, it's good idea to collect the feature, degree, and progress of the symptoms with their detailed sequence of events, and bring those to see doctor who will usually review what you submitted, history, physicals, and tests as needed and provide reasonable rx.

Question 2

quick throbbing or pulsating horizontal pain across my back?

Accepted Answer

By quick, I am: assuming you mean brief. Anything that is pulsating would seem to be associated with a blood vessel/heart beating. Hard to know what would be causing pain, but a major blood vessel in the mid-back is the aorta. A problem, bulge/aneurysm, with this vessel would be the most serious cause of your symptoms and deserves urgent evaluation. I would go to ER; this can be excluded easily with imaging.

Pulsating: If you are a thin person it is not unusual to feel or see pulsation in the area of your stomach related to your aorta. Have it checked by your doctor. If there is any concern he will have the area imaged. All the best.
