Question 1

why does my kidney hurt after a run?

Accepted Answer

Running and Kidneys: Hi

it is well known that running can cause jostling or other trauma to your internal organs.  This is experienced as some bleeding seen in the urine and pain deep in the mid back.

I would first want to know where you pain is. And, what other symptoms you are experiencing.  Have you had this problem previously.

Do you have any kidney disease? Smoking? Family history of kidney disease?

Question 2

someone bumps into me when i was running yesterday, my lower back hurts a lot after that. could it be my kidney was damaged?

Accepted Answer

No: Usually requires a fairly significant blunt force to the flank or mid back region to cause an injury to the kidney such as might occur during a severe fall, car accident, or hard contact sports. Significant kidney injury often associated with outward skin bruising overlying the kidneys and blood in the urine. Most likely, you sustained a sprain or strain to your back muscles which can be painful.

Question 3

i have stones in both the kidneys,why it feels so hurt after carrying weight of 5-6 kg. even after running though.pain spread at the right lower back?

Accepted Answer

Muscular??: Movement related pain may be coming from the muscles or the spine.  However given your history while not typical of kidney stones I think would be worth getting a doctors examination and urinalysis done.  Seek urgent attention if fevers vomiting or pain is severe

Question 4

i have two lumps under my skin on my lower back..when i bend my back and run my back i can feel it. they feel rubbery and move easily but they dont hurt?

Accepted Answer

Low back lumps: A physician would have to examine these lumps in order to make a diagnosis and advise you. If they are freely movable, they are not attached to bone and could be benign fatty tumors called lipomas.

Question 5

if my lower back hurts when i run what am i doing wrong?

Accepted Answer

Shoes: It could be that your shoes are not providing enough padding and shock absorption.  If your shoes are old, try replacing them with a newer pair of running shoes.Try running on a dirt path or in the grass instead of hard pavement if possible and see if this helps with your pain. Also, may be wise to do some stretches before running and see if this helps.  Lastly, drink lots of water.

Question 6

my lower back hurts a lot when i finish running i can't keep it like this i feel like one day ima get to the point i would not walk and in xrays im ok.

Accepted Answer

Doctor exam: For a young person like you, that much back pain is not normal. You should see your doctor to make sure appropriate tests are completed. You should also stop running for 2 weeks to allow your back to heal.

Question 7

my lower back hurts only when i run long distances. i am only 23 and i was wondering what i should do?

Accepted Answer

Lumbago: Running on hard surfaces is like jack knifing on the spine. Specially if you also do weight lifting, will destroy lower back. That is why you never see on the olympic tem a weight lifter after age 24. If you do not do weight lifting, check your uric acid to be bellow 6.0. I am seeing a lot of young people with elevated uric acid, which i did not see before.

Question 8

i have had a consistent pain running from my glutes/lower back down to my hamstring. this has been ongoing for a month. it only hurts when i move, whether running, walking or turning around in bed even. ?

Accepted Answer

Possible sciatica: Sounds like you might have sciatica.  If you can take an NSAID without problem you can use for the pain.  Bed rest can help and I have found that a back brace can also help.  If symptoms persist you need to see your primary care doctor for evaluation and treatment.

Question 9

my lower back pain feel really hurt. it's hard for me to make a bow, and it feels better if i puffed my chest. i also just had run. what happenned?

Accepted Answer

Consider: You may have over stressed your muscles, or herniated a disc.  Getting a massage, straightening out the fibers of your back muscles, applying an ice pack, taking an anti-inflammatory, visiting a chiropractor, may all help.

Question 10

my lower back feels strained after i bend over, stand, run, sit for long periods of time, hurts when i lie straight on my back. 2+yr-old issue. help!

Accepted Answer

See a doctor.: You should be examined by your doctor to try to determine the cause and make sure your exam is normal and there is no evidence of any neurological problem. You may need an MRI or other radiologic study. If there is no structural problem found, you may benefit from physical therapy.
