Back/side/ flank pain?
I have horrible side/flank pain especially on my left side. Anyone else experience this? The only thing to relieve this is using a heating pad. Any suggestions for relief when unable to use heating pad? I have only just recently been diagnosed with stage 3b.
Hi
, I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing pain! Have you mentioned this to your doctor? Having pain in your side can be a common symptom of CKD, but it might be a good idea to get it checked out, just to rule out anything serious. In the meantime, I found this forum discussion where a member expressed a similar concern. https://chronic-kidney-disease.net/forums/common-occurrence. Perhaps you can try responding to them and see if they have any suggestions for you. Hopefully someone will chime in here for you as well. Please keep us updated if you hear back with good tips! - Kat (Team Member)
