I'm having a lot of pain in my back in the area of my kidneys. It's not a stabbing pain, more like I'm just really achy. I just want to go curl up in bed, but that doesn't seem to help either.

I know I'm staying hydrated, so it's not that, but would love to have some input on whether this is common at this point (close to three weeks out), and what I might do to relieve it.

Could it be kidney or gallstones? Please check with your doctor.

Sure it could be kidney stones especially if the pain is on one side but it could also be many other things. Like, if its on the right side it could be gall bladder.....or, on either side, could be a kidney infection......could just be gas or constipation. Please call ur doctor.

I would call the doctor's office just in case...I also had an achy back, but is gone now...mine was from gas and laying down too much...I was very tired the second week and slept a lot.

Thanks folks. I'm out of town unfortunately and hoping it will go away by itself. If it gets worse, I'll go to the ER.

Talked to my physician and he thinks I might be constipated. Says take some Miralax and if ache is not better by Monday, to come in to the office.

Says if it was kidney stones, I'd have a different kind of pain and it would be more intense.
