Kidney pain

[Lannister902]

Hi,
I've had two occasions now where I've felt like I wish I passed out as the pain was soo unbearable.

The first was when asleep I woke up in the middle of the night, right side of my lower back pain (I imagine where my kidneys located...), in complete agony for around 30 mins. Took some Ibuprofen, just kept pressure on the area and slowly the pain subsided.
I put it down to how I must've slept and caused my back to seize up.
Something similar has happened today, whilst driving I felt pain coming from my stomach, came along all of a sudden without any warning and was excruciating pain. I pulled over and after getting out realised it was my lower back, same location right hand side of my lower back. Luckily I had some Ibuprofen, just kept pressure on the area, messaged it and it eased enough for me to get home.

Any ideas what it could be?

Maybe see a Doctor (urgently)? Sounds like you could have kidney stones but could be any number of things. Get it checked!

Could be a stone moving around in there.

Any other symptoms? Fever, pain/blood in urine?

At this point I don't, I am getting this constant feeling of needing to wee, even after I'd just made a trip to the toilet

Sounds like you may have a UTI. The inflammation to the bladder wall makes it feel
Like you haven’t emptied it. Have a chat to 111 or gp for abx.

Kidney stones are most likely.
Phone 111.

Hows your liquid intake. Do you drink enough water etc?
Its the most likely cause.

Sounds like a kidney stone. I had one and it was unbearable pain so get it seen to sooner rather than later. My sister had a kidney stone as well and said it was more painful than childbirth (much to my wife’s disappointment). You really don’t want it to come back and hang around!
