Question by wtfisgoingon:
Lower back pain after peeing?
For the past few years I have noticed that I get these random backpains a few minutes after I pee, but it only happens sometimes. The pain honestly feels like my spine is twisting it’s like a tightening feeling and I have to arch my back and wait for it to subside. My mom says it may be kidney stones but I cannot find any info online about this type of thing. I went to the DR for it about a year ago, but since i’m a teenager, he didn’t take me very seriously. He ordered a blood test, and then diagnosed me with “lower back pains.” And that was it. NO further investigation, no prescription, no options, no nothing. Just “lower back pains.” I get that sometimes your body can ache randomly, but this is such a specific thing it has me quite worried.
Anyone have any idea what this could be?
Find a better doctor for one.
I have had a couple of kidney stones in my life, so here is what to look out for:
Increase in low back pain when laying or sitting still
Decrease in low back pain when moving
(if you’re a guy) look at your pee stream, does it split at the tip causing two separate streams? or is it a healthy one solid stream?
Painful and often difficult urination
Blood in urine
Decrease in urine compared to the amount of water consumed
Drink plenty of fresh water, cranberry juice, and grape juice to help pass a stone. There are some pills that you can get over the counter called “Azo” and they will help you urinate if it becomes too difficult or painful. Feel better.
seems like I get that every so often…I go in for check-ups every year and they tell me I’m ok. As far as I know I don’t have stones etc. Watermelon is a good way to cleanse your kidneys…I eat a lot of it during the summer months. It seems to help. here’s some info I found..it also says you can make a tea from the seeds and drink it. I’ve never tried that.
