A member asked:

Had chills and flu like symptoms for two days now. but now i have pretty bad pain in both kidneys. it's worse while lying down.

Rule out pyeloneph: you need to see a doctor in order to rule out a kidney infection called pyelonephritis. Electrolytes and cultures need to be checked. Keep yourself well hydrated. It may be self limiting.
