Question 1

how come i get lower back pain after drinking alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Back pain and EtOH: Not any real association that i can think of. Only rare association is with certain lymphomas. That would be a stretch, and i don't think you need to worry. Otherwise, your "back" pain may actually be related to inflammation internally—abdominal contents/organs that may be the true source of symptoms. I think this is more likely.

Question 2

is sharp tingling pain after drinking alcohol only caused by hodgkins lymphoma?

Accepted Answer

May be: In a few instances alcohol intake associated with in patients with Hodgkins. However, there other effects of alcohol that can cause unpleasant effects due to altered metabolism of alcohol. Alcohol is not doing you or any one else any good. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco or alcohol in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

Question 3

does hot feet and tingling of the feet after drinking alcohol mean alcohol allergy if not what causes it?

Accepted Answer

NO.: This is likely a unique response to alcohol excess and/or an inability to efficiently metabolize alcohol. Less likely, these symptoms could represent a psychological response to excess alcohol intake.

Question 4

tingling in arms and fingers 24 hours after drinking alcohol.  only had 5 weak drinks last night.

Accepted Answer

Tingling: Need to be examined by a doc. Could be from hyperventilation, could be from nerve impingement.

Question 5

i have had red tingling palms for over a year.   no other symptoms of liver disease and have  stopped drinking alcohol (for over a year).  do the red palms mean i have liver disease .   i have  even a regular user of alcohol for several years?

Accepted Answer

Peripheral nerves: Chronic alcohol use will causes changes to different regions of the body.  The liver is the more serious, but the peripheral nerves can be involved as well as the small blood vessels in the hands, feet, nose and ears.  Peripheral neuropathy can cause tingling and pain in the hands and feet.  This may improve off alcohol, but may need medication.  Red flaring of hands, nose, ears is permanent.

Question 6

i get acute severe edema of the hands, feet and face along with a tingling, burning pain within moments of eating certain foods and drinking alcohol?

Accepted Answer

See an allergist: These symptoms need to be investigated, consult an allergist for testing and proper diagnosis. They may or may not be related to food intake.

Question 7

sudden onset tingling and pins and needles after drinking alcohol.  liver and kidney labwork is normal.  ncv and emg normal.  brain mri norml.  cause?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol: Alcohol alters nerve conduction by occupying the GABA receptor in the brain. Tingling can sometimes occur. If it is on both sides, that is the likely cause. If you want to avoid it in the future, avoid alcohol. If you develop weakness of arm or leg on one side, slurred speech, or other concerning symptoms, go to the ER. Hope this helps!

Question 8

is drinking alcohol hard on the kidneys?

Accepted Answer

Usually not: Only if you drink so much that you become dehydrated, or if you drink antifreeze, wood alcholol, running alcohol, or home-made alcohol that was sitting in a container impregnated with lead.

Question 9

is there anything that can cause pain in kidneys after drinking alcohol?

Accepted Answer

It's not kidney pain: Nothing would cause kidney pain after alcohol (it may be coming from liver instead and not kidney), kidneys usually don't hurt unless it has stones or infection or blockage to urine flow acutely!

Question 10

how long can it take to damage your liver/kidneys from drinking alcohol?

Accepted Answer

It depends: There are many factors involved, such as other stressors on these organs, your age, how often you drink and how much at a time.  If you have a family history of alcoholism or other drug addiction, it becomes more likely that your drinking will at some point get our of control.  In general, the heavier you drink, the more damage is done.
