A member asked:

I woke up this morning with my kidney areapretty sore.doesnt hurt much unless i move a certain way or i walk .no fever, not sure if i have a uti.thanks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely not an UTI: Sounds more like muscle strain/sprain. Utis often start with increased frequency, urgency, and pain with urination.
