see the pictures of the kidneys? my pain was far below that. right side. almost at my butt. around l5 and s1 area
so that is why I thought it was my back
but like esf, when I checked my back, it was good to go (he went to squat rack and blasted legs)... and you wait for your back to blow out... but hey, you are fucking good to go... no way you can squat with a bad back... you will be stopped in your fucking tracks... then you are in bed and you feel like you have to take a piss, but you can tell that it is going to burn... and then you finally go and piss, and it really burns...
to me, the kidney stones were more about the back pain they caused though, and not so much the piss hurting...
after all of those tests in the hospital, they said that I must have passed them, because I had none left and that my kidneys looked great...
but jesus, did I feel horrible for 30 days straight... I hurt every second of every day... and I have blown out both knees, etc... so I know pain all too well... nothing hurt like this... I wanted to cry and not move or breathe... then when I felt like I had to vomit, I had a fever of 104, then I got the chills, I felt sea sick, etc I knew it had to be the organs and not just low right back pain... my body was screaming at me and trying to tell me that I was ill... I refused to take pain meds because I wanted to know that I was in pain and whether I was getting better, staying the same, or getting worse...
