Pain to Touch Kidney Area
Posted: 03-17-07 11:56am

now, im sure ive elt this before but is it normal because i dont always notice it, when stood up i touched my back, just under my ribs sort of where my waist goes in a bit, i would say it is my kidney area, should it be so sensitive to touch? if i press very very lightly it doesnt hurt but anything slightly more, still not that heavy, and it hurts to press in, is this a kidney problem?
ive had a kidney infection before and many UTIs, annoyingly i noticed this morning a slight sharpness of urination but only the first time, since then there has been no problem, i have no reason to have an infection, no seual intercourse, nothing in baths etc.

I do know that tenderness in the kidney area could be an indication of a kidney infection. Have you have a fever or chills? Is it possible that you were hit in this area?

I suggest that you call your doctor. It is always better to be safe than sorry!
