    I had lower back pain for a while about 12 years ago when I was youngish.

    Ignored it for like a week because I thought I just slept weird.

    Then one day I asked someone to take me to the walk-in since it was getting worse.

    It was a Sunday so they were all closed, but by that time I was starting to shake. Asked to go to the ER.

    Once in the ER I’m sweating, shivering and shaking. Doctor takes one look at me and bumps me to the front of the line. Takes me in and immediately says I look like I’m going through septic shock. Puts me on IV antibiotics and morphine for the pain which was incredible at that point.

    Apparently I had a UTI which led to a bladder infection and eventually worked its way up to my kidneys and then poisoned my blood. Another week of 1hr per day IV antibiotics pumping through me and I was okay.

    If it weren’t Sunday I possibly could have died.

    So yeah, probably go see a doctor.

    Internet is not the right place to ask these kind of questions! Go see a doctor!

    UTI or a problem with your ureter. Get it checked out, I had an artery wrapped around mine, and I got extreme pain leaning back starting with puberty, didn’t get it checked out, eventually had a mass of scar tissue removed in my 20s, not fun. I had to go in when it caused a stone to form, and the doctor was so intimidated by it he sent me to a regional specialist.

    As everyone else has said: kidney issue. If its an infection (you should definitely get this checked out), you’re going to need antibiotics. Drink a lot of water - like, a lot - and introduce cranberry juice to your drinking habits (won’t fix the infection but there’s some evidence its preventative).

    If its a stone then get ready for the worst pain in the world but also drink a lot of water to help break it up/aid its passage through.

    TL;DR - get a GP appointment and start drinking a fuck ton of water.

      Absolutely drink a lot of water. One general starting point I read awhile back, focusing on people predisposed to kidney stones, was to divide your weight by 2, and drink that amount in ounces every day. If you exercise, it recommended 1 liter/hour, and that didn’t count towards your daily water needs.

      Also, along with cranberry juice, add some lemon juice to the water at least once per day. This will also help with breaking up stones and keeping them from forming. You can keep the juice in an ice tray in the freezer to make it a bit more handy. The bottled lemon juice is terrible compared to fresh, at least in the US.

        Agreed, but I recently found something almost as good as fresh without the storage issues. My friend introduced me to total lemon (not an ad), and it’s great! It’s like crystalized lemons, and immediately comes to life in liquid. I’ve been adding it to my fish instead of cutting up lemons and hoping I use it all, and I love it!

    Center of your lower back? Can’t crack your spine, and massaging the muscles does nothing?

    Like everyone else said, kidney infection. And you want to take this very seriously! Drink LOTS of water, avoid energy drinks and sugary beverages and all that junk. Cause if you don’t, the infection WILL GET WORSE. It can get so bad you can’t even walk without being double over in pain!

    Also, damage to your kidneys is CUMULATIVE. Get lazy about staying hydrated again? It’ll come back with a vengeance!

      I’ve had kidney stone, they would be on the floor already, calling emergencies. It is not only after peeing.

      (I’m not a doctor)

        I get kidney stones, can confirm. Feeling it pass through the ureter is the excruciating. If this is a consistent issue they would know by now.

    Sounds like the end is near. Better update your will (I’m missing from it!!)

    Seriously!!! For heck sake don’t ask the internet, go see your doctor or go to a clinic or something.

    It really might be your kidneys. Do you feel it in your spine or more to the side?

    You could also try and do some stretches everyday.
