What is kidney pain like?

My wife has been complaining about a strange pain in her back, and someone suggested it might be coming from her kidneys. What does kidney pain typically feel like? Is it sharp, dull, constant, or intermittent?

Bhai, ye dard peeth ke piche aur side me hota hai, aur ye aam peeth dard jaisa nahi hota. Bahut tez aur chubhne wala dard hota hai jo achanak se badhta hai. Agar aisa dard ho toh turant doctor ke paas jana chahiye.

When my mother had it, she described it as a severe, waves-like pain in her side that went down to her groin, along with fever. We took her to the hospital emergency immediately, and I suggest you do the same to get a clear diagnosis.

It is a heavy, deep discomfort felt in the back and sides of the body, often accompanied by a feeling of fever or nausea. Stay positive, keep your mind calm, and let a doctor examine you to find the right cure.

Hey, don't stress too much, but kidney pain is usually a deep, dull ache on one or both sides of your upper back, right under your ribs. Sometimes it can feel like a sharp wave of pain if there's a stone. Just get a quick ultrasound done to be sure!

Does kidney pain also make you feel nauseous and make the pain spread to the lower groin area? I have been feeling this since yesterday and I am getting really scared. Has anyone else felt this exact same thing?

I had a kidney stone last month and the pain is a sharp, constant ache deep in your side or upper back, just under the ribs. Unlike muscle pain, it doesn't get better when you change positions or lie down. It was honestly unbearable.

It's a special kind of torture! It is a deep, throbbing pain right in your flanks that doesn't let you sit, stand, or sleep in peace. If your back pain doesn't go away with a simple balm, it's probably your kidneys telling you to see a doctor.
