Question 7

sore kidneys and i'm on lots of medication. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

"sore kidneys": Not sure what you mean by "sore kidneys".  If you mean having low back pain, it is more likely that the pain is not caused by the kidneys.  Most patients with acute or chronic kidney diseases do not have localized pain in the low back or pelvic area.  I recommend an evaluation by a physician that includes a full physical examination.
