Have you already gone through the full kidney and colon cleansing processes?\n\n        Kidney cleanse is any procedure that involves drinking a huge amount of liquid, and taking care what you are eating. Just a better diet with more water can be enough! But, also any form of bowel cleansing will also help kidneys! The Master Cleanse Lemonade Diet  is also a Kidney cleanse, juice fasting is also a kidney cleanse, and any other form of fasting that incorporates a lot of liquids, will in the same time clean a kidney. Do you need special herbs? Only if you have acute lower back pain, clear symptom of Kidney stones (sharp glass like crystals, made of phosphoric acid, or sometimes may include other acids). In special occasions, you can get a kidney stone crystallized in less then a few days !!! To melt a stone/stones, you may need a few weeks, or one day with the Watermelon Cleanse.\n\n           Herbal Kidney Cleanse  Designed by Dr. Hulda Clark from her book "The Cure for All Disease", explains in detail how to cleanse the kidneys, and her cleansing program will get rid of most if not all the stones, WITHOUT surgery.\n        Ingredients:\n\n            1/2 cup dried Hydrangea root\n            1/2 cup Gravel root\n            1/2 cup Marshmallow root\n            4 bunches of fresh parsley\n            Goldenrod tincture (leave this out of the recipe if you are allergic to it)\n            Ginger Capsules\n            Uva Ursi capsules\n            Vegetable glycerine\n            Vitamin B6 250mg\n            Magnesium oxide 300mg or 1/4 cup Green Drink Beverage\n\n        Measure ¼ cup of each root and set them to soak, Together in 10 cups of cold tap water, using a non-metal container and a non-metal lid (a dinner plate will do).  After four hours (or over night),    bring liquid with soaked herbs to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes.  Drink a ¼ cup as soon as it is cool enough.  Pour the rest in through a bamboo or plastic strainer into a sterile pint jar (glass) and several freezable containers.  Refrigerate the glass jar.\n        Find fresh parsley at a grocery store that does not spray its produce (ask the owner). Boil the fresh parsley, after rinsing, in 1 quart of water for 3 minutes.  Strain out the liquid, then drink ¼ cup when cool enough.  Refrigerate a pint and freeze 1 pint.  Put the cooked parsley in your compost bucket.\n        Dose:  each morning, pour together ¾ cup of the root mixture and ½ cup parsley water, filling a large mug.  Add 20 drops of goldenrod tincture and 1 tbs. of glycerin.\n\n        Drink this mixture in divided doses throughout the day. Keep cold. Do not drink it all at once or you will get a stomach ache and feel pressure in the bladder. If your stomach is very sensitive, start on half this dose.\n\n        Save the roots after the first boiling, storing them in the freezer. After 13 days when your supply runs low, boil the same roots a second time, but add only 6 cups water and simmer only 10 minutes. This will last another 8 days, for a total of three weeks. You may cook the roots a third time if you wish, but the recipe gets less potent. If your problem is severe, only cook them twice.\n        After three weeks, repeat with fresh herbs. You need to do the kidney cleanse for six weeks to get good results, longer for severe problems.\n\n        Also take:\n\n            Ginger capsules: one with each meal (3/day).\n            Uva Ursi capsules: one with breakfast and two with supper\n            Vitamin B6 (250mg): one per day\n            Magnesium oxide (300mg): one a day\n\n        Take these supplements just before your meal to avoid burping.\n\n        Some notes on this recipe: this herbal tea, as well as the parsley, can easily spoil. Heat it to boiling every fourth day if it is being stored in the refrigerator; this resterilizes it. If you sterilize it in the morning you may take it to work without refrigerating it (use a glass container).\n\n        There are pro

Probably should go to the er, could be most anything from appendix to kidney stones. You need to be seen if the pain is really bad. Pain is always a symptom not the disease.

If you have past history of kidney problems, then you are still at risk. You may have kidney stones. You may have a bladder infection too. You cannot afford NOT to have this checked out. First though, go out and get a bottle of 100% Cranberry juice, MAKE SURE IT'S 100%. Drink the whole thing and see if that corrects the problem. Otherwise, check out these links to compare problems and learn some. Good luck.\n\nhttp://www.kidneylifecenter.com/\n\nhttp://www.bladder-infection-zone.com/links.html

There are a number of things that cause kidney stones. Sometimes your genetic make up may just produce them. Phosphuric acids help create them, i.e. soda. Its mostly diet and not drinking enough water. Sometimes intake of calcium can cause it as well.\n\nDrink lots and lots of water. Water is the best thing.\n\nKidney stone pain is the worst. Believe me, I've had 3 of them. One had to be surgically removed, one I had blasted in a sonic tub, and I passed the third one right before going onstage at a gig. I highly suggest, drinking lots and lots of water if you're prone to kidney stones. The pain sucks.

You have to go to the doctor.  There is no way over the counter to treat it, and you can only treat it there is unfortunately no cure  :(  Your doc will prescribe you some Valtrex, it usually takes less than a week to feel some relief (they may also give you Zovirax cream which speeds up relief).  If it is extremely painful you can also ask for some lidocaine, which is a topical numbing agent which will make it easier/less painful to go to the bathroom.

Definitely a UTI!  You need to get to the Dr. asap.  Until then go get some cranberry supplement pills and take six of them at a time 3 or 4 times a day.  and drink boat loads of water!  Just make sure you treat it becasue it can spread to your kidneys pretty fast and that can kill ya!  If you start having pain in your lower back, go to the ER.

I advise you to see a doctor.  You may have some minor kidney problems.  Or, you may have a small bladder.\n\nEither way, best to GET IT CHECKED OUT BY A PROFESSIONAL IN CASE IT IS SOMETHING SERIOUS.\n\nNot that it is serious.  Probably just one of the reasons listed above.  GOOD LUCK!

I recently passed a KIDNEY stone. There is a tube, called the ureter, that connects the kidney to the bladder. It is very, very thin and lined with nerves. Imagine a little elf hacking his way out with a razor blade. I was on the verge of throwing up it was so painful. I had to be hospitalized. Prescription pain killers were not enough relief.\n\nMoral of the story - drink lots and lots of water and avoid the build up of calcium in the kidney. Oh ya, and don't eat stones.

It must have something to do with your kidneys. Consult a doctor, you must be thinking derr...could have thought of that myself, but it's the most obvious and useful places. Also try Saw Palmetto capsules. It's for men with Prostate problems, but is good for urine control.

Treatment for kidney failure varies, depending on whether the problem is acute, chronic or end-stage.\n\nAcute kidney failure\nAlthough not every person with acute kidney failure can regain normal kidney function, in many cases acute kidney failure is reversible.\n\nIn all cases, the first goal is to treat the illness or injury that originally damaged your kidneys. Once that's under control, the focus will be on preventing the accumulation of excess fluids and wastes in your blood while your kidneys heal. This is best accomplished by limiting your fluid intake and following a high-carbohydrate, low-protein, low-potassium diet.\n\nYour doctor may prescribe calcium, glucose or sodium polystyrene sulfonate (Kayexalate) to prevent the accumulation of high levels of potassium in your blood. You may also need to undergo dialysis to help remove toxins and excess fluids from your body while your kidneys are healing.\n\nChronic kidney failure\nChronic kidney failure has no cure, but treatment can help control symptoms, reduce complications and slow the progress of the disease.\n\nThe first priority is controlling the condition responsible for your kidney failure and its complications. If you have diabetes or high blood pressure (hypertension), for instance, that means carefully following your doctor's recommendations for diet and exercise and taking any medications as directed.\n\nIn addition, following a proper diet is extremely important in treating kidney failure itself. Restricting the amount of protein you eat may help slow the progress of the disease. It can also help ease such symptoms as nausea, vomiting and lack of appetite. You'll likely need to limit the amount of salt in your diet to help control high blood pressure. Over time, you may also need to restrict the amount of potassium and phosphorous you consume.\n\nIf you have high blood pressure, your doctor will prescribe medications that both lower your blood pressure and help preserve kidney function. These include the blood pressure-lowering medications known as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin II (A-II) receptor blockers.\n\nYour doctor may also prescribe medications to help deal with complications.\n\nEnd-stage renal disease\nBy the time end-stage renal disease develops, the conservative measures used to treat chronic kidney failure — diet, medications and controlling the underlying cause and complications — are no longer enough. The kidneys aren't able to support life on their own, and dialysis or a kidney transplant becomes the only option.\n\nThe exact point at which this is needed varies from person to person. In most cases, doctors try to manage chronic kidney failure as long as possible because both dialysis and transplantation are serious undertakings that can be life threatening. Eventually, however, a time may come when their benefits outweigh their risks.\n\nDialysis is an artificial means of removing waste products and extra fluid from your blood when your kidneys aren't able to do this on their own. It's not a miracle cure, and it presents significant risks, including infection. Still, it can help prolong life for people with end-stage renal disease.\n\nThere are several different types of kidney dialysis. They include:\n\nHemodialysis. The most common form of dialysis is known as hemodialysis. It removes extra fluids, chemicals and wastes from your bloodstream by filtering your blood through an artificial kidney (dialyzer). Blood is pumped out of your body to the artificial kidney through a vascular access that's created surgically, usually in your arm or leg. Inside the artificial kidney, your blood moves across membranes that filter out wastes. Less than 1 cup of blood is outside your body at any one time. Most people require approximately 12 hours of dialysis each week, usually divided into three sessions. \nPeritoneal dialysis. Instead of filtering your blood through a machine, this type of d

take two excedrine and lay down with your eyes closed and be real still for about 30 to 45 minutes. it always works for me. if it doesn't take away the pain, i'm sure it will relieve some of the pressure then just take it slow. real slow. then if it still hurts maybe you need to see the doctor, it could be something more serious. good luck. i hope you feel better

Drinking lots of water, avoiding caffeine can help.\n\n Also, there have been studies showing that lemon therapy has proven to be quite successful at dissolving kidney stones. You should drink about 32 ounces of low sugar lemonade or you could use about 4 ounces of  pure lemon juice added to 2 1/2 liters of beverage( I would use water). \n \nGood luck to you.
