Anyone Exp. Lower back or Kidney Problems ???

I've been having lower back problems and i'm concerned that it may be my kidney's. A few weeks ago I had a bladder infection. I'm trying to increase my water to see if this is the problem. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or is currently. Any suggestions ??

Hi! I have experienced this prior to WLS and a good home remedy is to drink cranberry or cranapple juice. You can get reduce calorie juice like ocean spray or Walmart brand. Good luck...make sure you are not running a fever as that could be a sign of bad infection. Take care...karie

If you have a kidney stone, don't drink Cranberry juice as that will increase the problem. Lemon juice works for stones. Check the odor of your urine. If it is strong and dark, it's probably an infection, and cranberry is the best for that. I've had 7 stones in my life and spent a good many hours with a urologist. Nona

About a month ago I had my very first ever urinary tract infection. I had no pain -- just a dullness in my kidney area and of course, dribble, dribble on the potty. A 10 day round of antibiotics plus trying to drink more water and all is well again. Good luck. LuvitsunnyV@goal

Hi there Ruthanna, When I was a very bad diabetic I suffered with the worse urinary infection that was inmaginable. I was miserable until it when away. I had it every month. Now with the weight loss and the diabetic symptoms gone. 'NO MORE URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS" I also need to learn to drink more water......Have a great weekend Lorraine

My sister had akidney stone about a month and a half out of surgery. Its chances are increased with rapid weight loss. Kidneys are not in your lower back, see your doctor of course. LYN
