Severe kidney pain, or is it?

So I went to the Dr with severe kidney pain the other day.  He did some testing and said I dont see any problem with your kidneys.  He goes on to say, have you  changed jobs or lost weight or anything of that nature.  I told him that I had lost a lot of weight and changed jobs.  Helooks at my back and tells me that because i was so heavy before I had an extreme curvature of the spine.  this is caused because I carried so much extra weight at the front.  I guess it is sort of like a pregnant woman leaning back to compensate for the extra weight.  The Dr goes on to say that my back will straighten out that is what the pain is, the back is readjusting itself .   thank goodness it wasnt my kidneys, what a releif.

Must of been scary for you with the pain!..

Glad to hear to was your body making it`s self better.

I also have a huge curve i my back..now I know to be prepared for what is too come.


Hope it doesnt take to long for your back to readjust.


take care!

I had the same problem.  I went to the chiropractor and he fixed it!  Give it a go, I think it is worth a shot.

UGH! I had that same issue! Ihave had kidney stones before and I was PETRIFIED post op that I would get some if I got dehydrated.  Thankfully I didn't get any! BUT my back started to really hurt once I was about 75lbs into losing. I think it was skeletal for me too. Once I started riding the bike, stretching and doing yoga..VOILA..no more pain. I still have upper back pain though and I think that is from the tummy skin pulling down. I will keep working out until a get my tummy tuck..LOL

I agree with the Chiro idea too! Chiropractic solves a multitude of ailments.

Thanks everyone I am glad to know that I am not actually insane, and that others have gone through the same thing.

I had pains so bad that I couldn't even shop I went to a chiropractor and got it straightened up.

OMG!!! That  must have been HORRIBLE!!!

Glad you are all fixed up

It sure was!!! :)

I have been having lots of weird pains since my weightloss to!  My back bone at the base of my neck is always sore.  Sometimes I walk funny because my hipps feel stiff.  I was thinking, isnt the pain supposed to  be less because I have lost weight,lol.  I guess it is just my body re adjusting!
