Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) Support Group
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a progressive, genetic disorder of the kidneys. It occurs in humans and other organisms. PKD is characterised by the presence of multiple cysts (polycystic) in both kidneys. The disease can also damage the liver, pancreas and rarely the heart and brain.
Here Lately I have been having some major pain in my lower back. Someone told me to get checked out for a kidney infection. When I get those I dont normally get back pain. I took a pillow to work so I can lean against it in my chair and that seems to help alot. I sit behind a desk all day. Does anyone else experience this in their back?

yes I do at times and I think its often an infection ,maybe in a cyst its self rather than the whole kidney...mine did ease after some time I hope your will too ,but if you have very big kidneys it could be pressure pain.

hi i agree with stephanie when i get a pain in the back it is usually an infection..it can pass but u sometimes need antibiotics to rid of it

depends on the degree of pain u are talking about........could be that the kidneys just need a good flush(lots of water)could be an infection.........could be stones........I would recommend seeing ur DR.........if the pain continues

I get a lot of pain when I get kidney infections in my low back but it could also be other things like kidney stones or a ruptured cyst. You should see if your doctor can order a CT scan of your kidneys for you

The pain comes and goes. It just started back up this week again. I cant go to my dr because he doesnt understand the disease. He only knows what he reads. He thinks I just want attention. Hes a quack. Thanks for all of your comments. I dont feel alone anymore after finding this site. Thanks!!!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
