I think i might have a kidney infection. I had a cup of coffee just before bed last night because I was having caffeine withdrawals. I took a pair of ibuprofen as well as I had a headache.
I woke up with my girlfriend's alarm this morning about seven hours later BURSTING for the toilet, and ever since then my right kidney has been killing me. I'm kind of annoyed that my body didn't wake me up before then if I was so desperate for a piss...
Yeah, I know this is a necro. Don't like it, move on.
As somebody that is more of an expert on kidney issues, 2 suggestions:
1. Go see a ****ing doctor if you suspect a kidney issue. Kidneys don't regenerate, so if there is real damage being done, you won't get that function back.
2. Stay away from ibuprofen. If it is indeed a kidney issue, the first thing the docs will tell you is to stay away from all forms of ibuprofen, it is hard on the kidneys.
Unless you suffer regularly from kidney stones or other acute conditions, self-diagnosing this is not a good idea.
