What Is The Remedy For Pain On Back While Lying Down During Kidney Problem?
i am a 56 year old with type 2 diabetes. I just got out of the hospital 4 days ago after being treated for kidney disease. Two nights ago I started experiencing left flank pain when lying down. This slowly went away when I was sitting up. I went into the emergency and my blood and urine tests came back normal for me. The pain returned when I lay down again - on my back or right side. It diminishes when I lay on my left side. It continues to disappear after I sit up for awhile. Any suggestions as to what may be going on and what I should do about it?

Hi, welcome to HCM.
Looking to your history, it seems that your back pain is not related to kidney.
It looks like spinal pain.
Take orthopaedic/ spine surgeon consultation.
Do Imaging for spine with screening for kidney and ureter also.
I think this would be helpful to you.
Best wishes. tc.
