Excruciating right flank pain only in early mornings.

Hi,

I know this is a Kidneys etc discussion group, but have you had your Gallbladder checked? The pains for gallstones often include excruciating pain under your right ribs, that isn't always there, but when it is it can be very intense, it can also cause breathlessness, the pain may also travel up to your shoulder? And this may be the cause of your chills as well.

I hope you get some answers soon!

Hi Claire,

I've had the same thing for 3 days except the pain is on both sides. It has woken me up just now and is very painful. Each time it has gone away during the day. I have been feeling ok except for that. Just came on to this website to make an appointment to see the doctor and saw your post.

Hi, just wondering if you got anywhere? I have the same pain in a morning, same thing, starts about 5am and very painful. My pain also travels into my hips and groin and I have blood in my urine but only first thing in the mornings. 

Hi Claire, it's been four months since your post and I hope you are still following the discussion as I am keen to hear what you found out about your pain and hopefully a solution.

For the last two weeks have been having the exact same symptoms. It almost felt like I was reading my own record from my doctor appointment.

 

Hi, my symptoms lasted for approximately 3 months in total. Back and forth to my G.P without any diagnosis. I was referred to the physio who thought it was either kidney stones or reflux - where urine seeps up from the bladder to kidneys during the night. I still have back pain in the mornings but it is a world away from the pain I was getting before. This may not help anyone else who is suffering I'm afraid. 

Hello,

I am suffering from the same right flank pain for the last couple of weeks. It started all of a sudden and its worst when I wake up or being woken up due to the pain. Its quite excrutiating and I find my breathing is quite shallow when the pain is at its worst. I am also experiencing stomach discomfort and lot of burping.

I hope you had a diagnosis and now recovered.  I am extremely interested to know more in case it can also help me.

Thanks

 

Hello Claire, 

I noticed that it's been a while since you last message. Did they end up finding what caused the pain? Was it the root nerve irritation? And was the specialist able to help you? I have exactly the same. I wake up in the morning with a super tight right side. My urine was tested, had an abdominal and pelvic utrasound but they can't find anything. Sometimes I think that the pain is coming from my right ovary. Hope your pain is gone. 

Hi Claire, 

That sound hopeful. I think they can't always catch everything on an utrasound so it's good that your getting the scan and cystoscopy done. I think that will be my next step as well. I've had a very bad doctor in the past that always told me not to get a scan. She thought the pain was between my ears! Now I do have a good doctor but since i'm currently 4 months pregnant they don't want to do anything which I understand. Still a bit scared, hope the pain is not getting worse as my belly is growing. Ah hope you got some good answers by January. Keep us posted!

but since I'm currently 4 months pregnant they can't do anything. 

I had pain on my right side back (around kidney) a year ago. this happen when I played basketball very hard during January. I also have a tiny blood in my urine which is paternal. I think, the pain cause when the weather get cold, and when your muscle around kidney get a little spasm.or when you get a flu then feel better but already affect on your body and still you have virus(which probably dont undrestand)  I am not doctor and dont have knowlege about medical but this is just my experience. When I wrap with bandage around my waist and tight the pain gone. in summer no pain. I spoke with many doctors: some beleives bladder problem, others depression, some the mattress on bed is not good.

I think just cause cold weather beacuse in summer i dont have pain. just rest and dont run anymore for a period of time, also i covered my waste with bandge while i was outside. you should becareful if you cover all time your kidney get weak. so it is better just cover for time you outside in cold weather.

Look into Nephroptosis / Floating Kidney ... it is Rarely Diagnosed Accurately and always takes a Very Long (Painful) amount of Time 😉

I was recently diagnosed after finding the Probable Diagnosis Myself after 6 Years... surgery to correct was 2 weeks ago and I'm Very Pleased to say Symptoms have Disappeared!
