A member asked:
Can pain/twinge caused by breathing in deep, bending over, twisting to the side or stretching the side, be caused by kidney that's infected?

I was always: told that the kidneys themselves cannot be painful , it is the COLLECTING system which has the pain fibers...HOWEVER patients do typically complain of FLANK (Kidney) pain when the kidneys are INFECTED! Hope this is helpful! Dr Z
