A member asked:
Why does my right kidney tighten up when i'm walking sometimes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not your kidney. : This doesn't sound like a kidney problem at all. More likely a muscle spasm in your lower back. Consider core muscle strength training exercises and stretching. See your physician if pain persists. Physical therapy may be useful.
