Chronic Back Pain or is it my kidneys?

[nomorekugel]

Making a doctor appointment next week, but wanted a little input or advice first. My mother seems to think that since I am closer to induction on my WOE, that maybe adding in other rungs is more important health wise. I get up every morning with severe pain that I thought was coming from my back, but my mom keeps telling me it's my kidneys. This has been happening for probably a couple months now. Has anyone else experienced these pains or have any advice?

does your pain go away during the day? if so it could be something as simple as your mattress. Atkins wil noit cause kidney damage as trhat is an old wives tale about high protein damaging kidneys. If you have bad kidneys and your pre starting Atkins trip to the doc rules that out then eating larger then normal amounts of protein can exerbate your already damaged kidney condition.

yes, actually now that I think about it, the pain is only in the morning for about an hour or two? We just bought a mattress 6 months ago. Not sure what it could be?

Kidney pain is usually in your back side, not in the middle. I am sure that its something other than Kidney
