are you pretty certain that this IS indeed kidney pain and not a muscular type problem?what does the pain feel like and just where is it exactly in your back?does it radiaite?is it sharp or a constant ache that either comes and goes or just stays?sorry for the questions but it helps to know.i do have a kidney disease with liver affectaion so i am a bit familiar with kidney crap,believe me.any light you could possibly shed about the pain and when you feel it would help me to help you the best way possible,thats all.did this doc actually run any tests on you like basic blood work before she "deemed" you okay and told you to go home?do you have a history of any kidney problems or even kidney stones or UTIs?any info would help,marcia

Not much we can do without more info, becca. What level SCI, etc.. Lots of people can relate.

Oh, and a big welcome to CareCure.

I hope it is something not related to appendix. If it's not and if you are not sure what the pain is really all about, I would suggest you to go for an scan to clear any doubts.
