Re: KIdney stones, anyone???

[Guest guest]

Hi,

This pain could be from many things. (I just went to the doc for it). Kidney

infection (watch for fever & vomiting), kidney stones (maybe), UTI (urinary

tract infection), bladder infection or your ovaries adjusting to hormone levels

to name a few. Yes, it can be fibroid related too.

What can you do? Cranberry juice and LOTS of water. I mean LOTS of water. Drink

it all the time. Start with 8oz of juice in the morning and evening, then later

use it in the evening only if you want but twice a day is best. Lots and lots of

water. Motrin (anti-imflammatory) at least at night if you are in pain.

Cranberry juice also helps with yeast infections by the way. Buy the cranberry

juice without the sugar additives. Oceanspray is a good brand (there are others

- read label). I emailed Oceanspay and questioned them about their reseach on

cranberry juice and YES they responded. So red and white works just as well and

the mixed works (cranberry grape... say) too. You might want to go with the

plain red or white. Skip and caffine containing drinks (soda, cofee, tea) right

now. It can make things worse. Stick with the juice and water.

If it's your ovary (or fibroid related), then you need rest, heating pad and

motrin. Time will sort it out. But the cranberry juice won't hurt you. Last week

they reported that it was also great for your heart. What have you got to lose.

I don't actually like cranberry juice (I don't work for Oceanspay either) but

it's better than pain.

It took days for me to see a doc so I did the juice and water thing on my own

and the doc said it was the right thing to do. By the time I went to a doc, I

was sore but not in intense pain. I paid and learned little. So try the juice

and water and see if it helps.

But if your pain continues or you get a fever and vomiting - go see a doc. You

don't want to mess around with a kidney infection.

Hope this helps,

Ku

Hi there

Sometimes pain in the lower back can be kidney stones too. I do not have stones

but my mother has and her pain was very sharp. My sister is a MD and she

usually sends patiences with similar pain for a MRI

Good luck

Thanks Ku--

Your adviced is timely as I just added Cranberry juice to my diet,

thinking the exact things you mentioned. I have had UTI's before and

am familiar with the bene's of a glass of cran! I am usually a huge

H2O drinker, and have really been watching my intake lately as I

think it dropped off a bit while I have been caring for my twins. I

haven't had the pain in a few days now, and I haven't had any fever

or vomitting (thank goodness!!), but I will be following up with my

doc all the same . . .

Thanks again for the great advice!!!
