Q: Burning, Painful Kidneys ( Help Please )
asked by: Zkid on July 8th, 2007

I've always been a bit overweight, nothing HUGE just 20 - 40 pounds over, nothing big.

Anyways lately I've noticed a horrible pain down where my Kidneys are, It usually happens after I eat something fatty like Mc Donalds or Pizza.

At first I thought it might just be something that would pass but it's getting more common.

The only way I can describe this pain is a burning feeling or as if someone is grabbing your Kidney and scrunching it up in their hand. Confused

I drink a HEAP of water, usually 4 litres a day or more ( I'm a very Thirsty Guy ) and my Diet is usually pretty good.

best thing would be to have a doctor check it and then go from there.

You might be drinking too much water which can strain the kidneys.

It is probably not the fat content, but the salt in those foods that is causing stress in your kidneys.

If there is pain, then there is most likely trauma. Try your best to adjust your diet to avoid the kidney pains.
