My lower back pain is very similar to the pain in my knees

Could the pain in my knees be connected to a kidney problem?

Could your kidneys effect your lower extremities to this extent

Even when I sit down something is very wrong. I feel pressure

of some sort and have felt this way since after getting saline implants.

The doctor said he saw some shady spots on the X-Ray and they want

another X-Ray of my kidneys. I think the doc said a test using die.

Swelling - belly, theighs, buttiocks, hips and knees

Numbness - Lower back and buttocks

Pain - Lower back and knees

Is it possible my kidney is causing all these problems

I am currently on Levaquin 500 mg

V-Fend - anti fungal

Need Your Input,

Thank you,

Sandy~

Darling Dede:

First, how are you doing, and have you found a good oncologist? Where do you get all of this great material? I plan on printing it off, and taking it for my reading later. I am doing laundry, and it is slow going, because of the stairs. We both love the stairs; however, they are a problem for me at the moment.

I too have cramping in my right groin, and it is painful at times. My potassium levels could be low again, because that does cause cramping.

Thank you, sweet Dede...love you...Lea and Superman

Re: Question ????

I think you may have a couple issues going on here.

Did you read about sciatica that I sent you ? ? Please read again.

I am glad you are having an IVP done to check on your kidney.

Below the info on Sciatica is info on the kidneys. and Yes, kidney

disease can cause leg pain, even the breath deal your son refers to, as well as swelling and fluid retention, and please read below:

Sciatica is a set of symptoms including pain that may be caused by general compression and/or irritation of one of five nerve roots that give rise to the sciatic nerve, or by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve itself. The pain is felt in the lower back, buttock, and/or various parts of the leg and foot. In addition to pain, which is sometimes severe, there may be numbness, muscular weakness, and difficulty in moving or controlling the leg. Typically, the symptoms are only felt on one side of the body.

Although sciatica is a relatively common form of low back pain and leg pain, the true meaning of the term is often misunderstood. Sciatica is a set of symptoms rather than a diagnosis for what is irritating the root of the nerve, causing the pain. This point is important, because treatment for sciatica or sciatic symptoms will often be different, depending upon the underlying cause of the symptoms.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sciatica

Symptom 10: Leg/Flank Pain

Some people with kidney problems may have pain in the back or side related to the affected kidney. Polycystic kidney disease, which causes large, fluid-filled cysts on the kidneys and sometimes the liver, can cause pain.

Symptom 9: Dizziness and Trouble Concentrating

Anemia related to kidney failure means that your brain is not getting enough oxygen. This can lead to memory problems, trouble with concentration, and dizziness.

Symptom 8: Feeling Cold

Anemia can make you feel cold all the time, even in a warm room.

Symptom 7: Shortness of Breath

Trouble catching your breath can be related to the kidneys in two ways. First, extra fluid in the body can build up in the lungs. And second, anemia (a shortage of oxygen-carrying red blood cells) can leave your body oxygen-starved and short of breath.

Symptom 6: Nausea and Vomiting

A severe buildup of wastes in the blood (uremia) can also cause nausea and vomiting. Loss of appetite can lead to weight loss.

Symptom 5: Metallic Taste in Mouth/Ammonia Breath

A buildup of wastes in the blood (called uremia) can make food taste different and cause bad breath. You may also notice that you stop liking to eat meat, or that you are losing weight because you just don't feel like eating.

Symptom 4: Skin Rash/Itching

Kidneys remove wastes from the bloodstream. When the kidneys fail, the buildup of wastes in your blood can cause severe itching.

Symptom 3: Fatigue

Healthy kidneys make a hormone called erythropoietin (a-rith'-ro-po'-uh-tin) that tells your body to make oxygen-carrying red blood cells. As the kidneys fail, they make less erythropoietin. With fewer red blood cells to carry oxygen, your muscles and brain become tired very quickly. This condition is called anemia, and it can be treated.

Symptom 2: Swelling

Failing kidneys don't remove extra fluid, which builds up in your body causing swelling in the legs, ankles, feet, face, and/or hands.

Symptom 1: Changes in Urination

Kidneys make urine, so when the kidneys are failing, the urine may change. How?

You may have to get up at night to urinate. Urine may be foamy or bubbly. You may urinate more often, or in greater amounts than usual, with pale urine. You may urinate less often, or in smaller amounts than usual with dark colored urine. Your urine may contain blood. You may feel pressure or have difficulty urinating.

WE ARE GONNA GET YOU WELL ! ! ! one way or another !
