yes, the pain can radiate. The majority of the pain should be over the affected side, but its not uncommon for some to have pain on the opposite side.  If the pain is the same on both sides, you might want to be checked for additional kidney stones.

you need to see a doc. I am not gonna preach about drinking and all but yeah sounds like it is from that. Could be an infection or stones although I think kidney stones would hurt way more! If there is an infection sometimes cranberries or the juice can help clear things up. However, you sound past the help of cranberries.

Could be a circulation problem. I used to get it in my arms when I was driving for a long time, and it eventually turned to pain. That was a few years a ago. Turns out now I have fibro myalgia which is phantom pains all over my body (its really fun...) You could have carpel tunnel, or anything else. Make a physical appointment, and tell your Dr. He/she may want to do blood work just to check up on it.

Hi Stacy,\n\nWell, the only way to tell for sure is to go to a doctor and let him or her run some laboratory tests. They will want to know your history--including what type of medication you've been taking, and why you believe you may have kidney damage. They will also ask whether you have any symptoms, such as painful urination or back pain.\n\nThey can do some simple blood and urine tests that should determine whether you have any problem with your kidneys.\n\nIf you have reason to believe you may have kidney damage, let me urge you to seek medical help quickly--your life may depend on your prompt action. Hopefully your tests will check out fine and you'll get a clean bill of health!\n\nBest wishes!

It could be a kidney problem and they are NOTHING to play around with. Get yourself to a doctor ASAP. You don't want to wind up on dialysis and needing a kidney transplant.

I am an alternative medicinal therapist and an ex nurse and i can tell you that you DO have stones. Pain in the back is a common sign and so is blood in the urine. Stop worrying you don't have cancer. They can either dissolve them by sound waves or by tablets and they may remove them by an op(but they don't like to do this unless is becomes life threatening) You will get terrible pain if they try to leave the kidneys, so be prepared.If this happens get to the E R.\n\nGloria(BSYA)\ngloriashealth@btinternet.com

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!

If you are on dialysis, please bring this question to your doctor and don't take suggestions from well-meaning folks who have no way of understanding your particular case.\n\nI can picture how frustrating this situation would be, and how physically lousy the person would feel, but don't mess around.\n\nTalk to your doctor.  If at all possible, insist that your doctors communicate with each other.

Firstly i think your presuming its your Fallopian tubes !! as the pain from these normally radiates in your back (just like when your kidneys flair up)  You need to go back to your GP and discuss with him that if it is not womb/tubes pain it may be kidney stones or even a severe water infection...  if he/she refuses to treat you go elsewhere you are entitled to a 2nd opinion....

It's kind of like a spring, what it looks like, and the doctors use it when they are fixing a heart murmur, for a Patent ductus arteriosus at least they use it and if you just want to shorten the term use PDA but anyways, they put it into your heart, where it'll close whatever's open. Think they use it all murmurs and holes really.\n~It's not metal or anything and the tissue of the heart will grow around it. Also if you want some other stuff here it is, they take you into surgery, where you'll put you under anestecs(sp?), then they'll put a tube up your lower area, so that it reaches the heart, it'll hurt afterwards and you'll have to stay laying down for a while, however long the doctor says, and then if your an out patient you'll go home. The surgery will leave a scar, but it's so tiny you won't even notice it, it's actually amazing how small it is, I was surprised when I first saw the insicians on my leg. You probably won't be allowed to run, lift things that require two hands, or any extranious work for at least 10 days. You will also probably have to go back a year later to your cardiologist to make sure whatever problem there was is fixed.

not enough info to answer.  have you been eating?  drinking?  do you have pain?  you need to see a doctor.  could be a virus.  could be food poisoning (gastroenteritis) or a bowel obstruction.  or ... if you are a female you could be pregnant.  if this started suddenly and you have pain in your flank or groin area you might have a kidney stone.  so you see.....many possibilities......call your doctor or get to one asap.

i changed mine right after swelling went down but it hurt worse than the actual piercing did...changed it again after two months and it was fine, no pain...

Could be many things. How low are we speaking? It could be kidneys, gall bladder, pulled muscles, or back pain. Did you do anything to cause the pain, perhaps an injury? If it comes on suddenly and is sharp, I'd go see a doc about it.  Good luck.

Have you ever had a hernia or near hernia? I was told I came very close to getting a hernia after lifting a heavy object away from my body many years ago. Ever since that time I get tenderness in my testicle on that side whnever I overexert myself. I can never quite determine if the pain is coming directly from the testicle or somewhere along the tubes that travel from that point up to the stomach wall where a hernia occurs. I went to see a doctor many years ago who gave me antibiotics thinking I might have a low level infection somewhere and it seemed to make an improvement at the time. But I still get the tenderness from time to time now. I don't belioeve I have an enlargement though. I would check yourself for "lumps" in the scrotal sac in addition to the testicle (compare each side). Any additioal lump is definitely a problem.

I had this too, so i went to my doctor who sent me to get the 24 hour monitor attached to my chest. It turned out to be ectopic heart beats, i have tablets for it, i don't need to take them really but it stops me feeling the missed beats which is what i didn't like. I was told not to worry about it, but when it's your heart you do worry. The only time i feel it now is when I'm really tired. Don't be afraid, go to the doctors and get it checked. I'm 43 and I've had it for about 10 years. Being overweight doesn't help either, so if you are then try losing a bit. Hope this is of use to you.

I had my first (and hopefully last) kidney stone a couple of months ago. It started out with a general upset stomach sort of thing - felt like I might have diarrhea. I took Pepto Bismol (bad idea) and threw up a couple of times (so hard that I burst several small blood vessels around my eyes - it looked like I had red freckles). The pain increased but was concentrated on my left side, just below my ribcage, both front and back. I couldn't be still - I couldn't stand, sit, lie down, lean over, kneel, crouch, lay on my back with my feet up on the wall - believe me, I tried every position I could think of. The pain became excruciating and I finally went to the emergency room (where I sat for several hours). They did a CT scan and it showed the kidney stone. By the time I met with a doctor, the pain had receded quite a bit. They gave me a prescription for Vicodin, instructions to make an appointment with a urologist, and a stupid little plastic funnel with a screen so I could strain my urine and catch the little bugger if I passed it on my own. I ended up having minor surgery to remove it two days later.\n\nThe urologist told me that I would feel the worst pain when the stone was leaving the kidney and entering the ureter, then when it passed over a bundle of blood vessels near my pelvic bone, again when it entered my bladder, and again when it exited my bladder and made its bid for freedom.\n\nSo that was the long answer to your question. The short answer is PAIN. Lots and lots of pain concentrated on one side or the other, often in your back. Excruciating pain that literally makes you beg for your mommy.
