Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had severe back pain for 6 months now. Went to doctors and they said to try muscle relaxers. Saw a massage therepist. Own a back brace. Over time it's just gotten worse. I eat ibuprofen and tylonel on a daily basis to stop the pain. I'm not being able to do my job properly anymore because of pain. I can't sit through a movie or stand for more than an hour. Wake up several times in the night to change positions.
A friend told me to check my kidneys. I looked online at symptoms and this is what I have for kidneys:
Urination changes (dark/smelly) Fatigue (yes) Nausea (yes, loss of appetite, loosing weight fast, trying to eat anything I can) Bad Taste in Mouth (bad breath, taste, no dental problems) Chills (hands/feet ALWAYS freezing!) Leg/Back Pain (YES!!) Dizziness (did gymnastics and learned very good balance. Last few months have been tough to keep my balance.)
