I seem to think, that if your pain kind of stays no matter how you move or stretch, than its kidney, if you bend and stretch and feel more and less pain, than its your lower back, am i rite?

Kidney pain can easily be mistaken for lower back pain. I was dealing with lower back pain, but recently I've started having some kidney discomfort. It's a tightness in the lower back, cramping around the rib area of the back, and at times I'll have a slight spasm feeling or even a dull ache from my kidneys. What I've learned from this.......if you think you're drinking enough water, double it and you might be close. I'm now drinking 1 gallon of cranberry juice and 2 gallons of water per day. The more I drink, the less discomfort I feel. I increased my water intake 5 days ago....and I feel better today than I have in weeks.

I need to drink more water also. It is so
difficult for me. The 5 gallon dispenser
sit's in my office but still I don't make good use of it. I just have to get used to it
I guess.

I have been getting the same dull, throbbing in my lower back. I thought it was just back pain but, it was internal. I have popping 6 d-bols a day for almost two weeks now. I took 5 milk thistles and it went away in about 2 hours!!! I drink tons of water but , that is never enough to flush you out. You need to use something. I never even thought about cranberry juice. Sounds like a great idea!!!

I am a firm believer of drinking a lot of water but there is a limit. If you are drinking to much than you can actually tax or over work you kidneys.. My thinking is drink about a Gallon 1/2 a day maybe 1/2 gallon of cranberry juice and a gallon of water.
Goldenseal and milk thistle will help..

Unless you actually have a kidney infection stick with plain water and tons of it. The cranberry juice is more to clear up mild infections. It has to much sugar in it so it's best avoided if possible.

Also for those on Tren. injections for me it seems it's much less stress on my kidneys to use .5 cc daily rather than 1cc EOD. Everytime I try the EOD injections I begin to get kidney pain after a few days. Once switching to the daily injections I have no problem.

But remember, Tons of water is the best thing.

I think as long as your urine is clear, you're probably okay. Your kidneys are functioning. However, if this persists, go do a simple urine test @ your Dr.'s office. Kidneys and renal failure isn't something you want to mess around with. Take care of yourself.
