A member asked:
I have a kidney infection. why does it hurt more when i'm up moving around compared to resting ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Because: The kidney is inflamed from infection and the kidneys move up and down with breathing and postural movement which causes stretching of kidney capsule which causes more severe pain.
