It was genuinely a routine shower. Nae blades, nae particular fuss.  Towel (in need of softener) taking out a high tempo blood blister I reckon.

Oh that's alright then. Blood blisters on your scrotum are barely worth mentioning.

Kidney area is really quite painful.

It could be back pain from @Melanius Mullarkay running circles round me at 5's last night, but I'm pretty sure it's my kidneys.

I had a bit of pain in that area last week, had another pee, and the pain disappeared after about 10 mins.

I got up in last night, had a small pee, had a small pee this morning (when it is usually a large amount), had another small pee after that. Still quite sore. Moving around is a struggle. I'm just drinking heaps of water right now to see if I can clear my kidneys.

I usually have bother holding on to my pee.

Not sweating or feverish, so not overly concerned.

Does this sound like kidney stones?

How old are you, mate?  It could be the beginning of prostrate trouble especially if you're peeing a lot frequency wise but a little volume wise.  

I had kidney stones for years but there were no symptoms -it was picked up on an x-ray for something else - but I think they passed naturally as I had a few experiences over a period of time when I almost passed out when peeing.

All that said, the pain in the kidneys probably points to kidney trouble rather than prostrate.

I'm 42. 

The pain is higher than my prostate, definitely my kidneys.

Yes…

…but let’s check it a bit:

In my experience, a kidney stone pain is most commonly from roughly mid back, to one side and wraps down and forward/around. The easiest way I decide it’s a stone is that the pain is very distinctive. It’s a mild to intense modulating pain, that cycles over a 30-45 minute time period. When it’s cycling down you can do things almost normally, when it cycles up you want to curl up, throw up and cry. There is generally one position (often lying, sometimes stretching arms up) that makes the pain slight better during the peaks. If that’s the pain, I’d say 90%+ stone.

The peeing behaviour is quite characteristic, as the stone usually has a lovely set of protuberances that cause it to tumble and catch while moving down the ureter, and which often causes between a mild pink and significant red tinge to the pee.

Best way to tell your susceptibility to a stone is the normal colour of your urine. Straw-coloured is the goal that means you’re drinking sufficient water to reduce stone formation. Any darker yellow is a warning to drink more water.

Treatment is usually pain meds and some version of Flomax (tamsulosin…I think possibly available OTC in the UK), a medicine that’s a muscle relaxer for the urinary tract, hopefully increasing the flow, and thus movement of the stone. Add to that straining your pee to catch the little bugger so they can tell you what type it was.

If it won’t clear itself, it’s normally because it’s lodged…but most often that’s not terribly painful. Lithotripsy is a bullshite treatment that’s over used and under performs, IMO.

Hope you're better soon, Johnny boy.

Turns out it's back pain from @Melanius Mullarkay ripping the pish out me on Friday's 5's.

Been on pain killers the last couple of days, pain isn't as bad as Saturday, just so slow in moving and bending. Fud.

I'm still not giving in to the walking football.

Thanks to @Aubrey Maturin for reaching out.

Paging the auld farts.

I fucked my knee a few months back and had no choice but to keep doing heavy lifting for the rest of the day, despite it being fucking agony. It's not been happy with me since, although it's a lot better. The main problem now is that sitting down for more than half an hour displeases it, and I have to stretch it out for a while or it becomes increasingly painful.

I'd go to the doctor and join the physiotherapy waiting list for a printout of stretching exercises downloaded from the internet, but I figured this might be an occasion where this thread might actually be more useful, considering the number of moaning-faced auld duffers we have. Anyone have any suggestions?

To save time, I've already considered:

  • not sitting down (not always possible)
  • going back in time and not hurting myself (working on it; might need help)
  • windows down, heating up full blast
  • WD40
  • amputation/firing it into the sea or sun

Have you tried switching it off and turning it on again?

Depends on your GP practice, but mine has a physio on staff. He does 2 days a week with my practice and the rest elsewhere. 

I've been to him with a few problems. Last time I was there with my elbow, he gave me exercises to do - no joining the big official waiting list (unless his exercises don't work). 

Might be worth phoning and asking.
