Lower Back Organ Pain - Left Kidney Hurts - Series Question Personal Health?
I am Eighteen and am not addicted to alcohol. Over the Christmas period I really drank a lot I mean continuous for over three weeks. I felt the left side of my body ad my kindey was enlarged. I thought I had drank too much and stopped. Fine I have not drank for three weeks and do not wan a drink. However I am getting this uncomfortable sometimes burning pain in my left kidney. Occasionally it is very uncomfortable and as I am eighteen am very scared as to what I have done to it. Please help...
PS It may be that I have a water infection or cold but nothing burns when I go to the toilet or drink liquids.

You may just be dehydrated! Drink some water and if you it continues and gets worse I would suggest going to the doctor cause you may have a kidney stone.
But most likely since you mentioned that you were binge drinking, you seriously may just be majorly dehydrated.
Good luck! :)

My friend since you are able to discriminate which kidney, you may have awaken a sleeping problem. You need to get your butt to a urologist and explain everything you feel and did write everything down before you go so you don't forget anything alos take a pad and pencil or pen to take notes while you have your office visit. To me it sounds like you have 1 maybe more kidney stones beating you up on the inside. they may have been there for some time until you gave your kidneys a work out. The last set I didn't know I had until he x-rayed me as I suffer from chronic back pain.. blood or urinating pain may not occur be safe and see the urologist, if I'm right you caught it at the right time befor it works its way through the bladder and can't go then you will have big problems.. If I'm wrong the doctor will tell you whats wrong and hopefully you can stop worring. Lithotripsy is very easy these days it is an outpatient procedure and you may go back to work or school the next day. When it 1st came out it was a 23 hour hospital stay!

I have nursed for years and It amazes me the things people come up with. I suppose you are sure it is your left kidney. Go to the doctor. You probably dont even know where your kidney and spleen and liver and pancreas are located.
Fess up and tell him your symptoms.
