Suggest Remedy For Pain In The Kidney Area And Back
i got punched in my kidney area about 5 days ago. the pain has calmed down, but it still hurts to walk, lay down, and i will even wake up during my sleep because there would be pain. when i touch where my kidney's at there will be pain in my lower back too. i am not urinating blood though, but i've been leaning to my left side to prevent pain also, and thats starting to mess up my back. what has happened to my kidney? how can i help it? and how can i prevent messing up my back?

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
This may be is caused by urinary infection including kidneys infection or urinary stones so you should do urine analysis, urinoculture and kidneys ultrasound to rule these out which are most common causes. You should drink raspberry tea and plenty of water till you do tests. You should reduce salt in your diet as well, alcohol and carbonated drinks. In most cases this is self limiting but sometimes antibiotics are required and more invasive tests such as cystoscopy or pyelography or CT scan. Less common causes include tumors, glomerulonephritis and metabolic diseases.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good
