I have alport's but am certain that many with all various types of kidney probs experience similar symptoms.
I was lying in bed and suddenly my left kidney bunched up (felt like hurtful knot) in my left side and held like a contraction for about 4 minutes.
It has done it one more time since.
Do any of you experience flank (ribcage) pain? If so, any ideas on how to relieve it? Im currently on 120 hydrocodone a month and am not certain that harsh meds are going to be beneficial to kidneys. Plus it doesnt really cut the pain anyway!
Hydrocodone has tyelnol instead of aspirin that is why the va med center put me on it.
Anyone else on pain meds?
