You can have delayed pain after a fall or injury.
Sometimes you may experience the pain right away or soon after the fall and sometimes the pain may not show up until a few days or even weeks later.
If you fall you should get checked out because you could be injured and not know about it for awhile.
Injuries usually hurt more a week later due to swelling and because your body is still healing.
When you suffer an injury, swelling usually worsens over the first two to four days.
It can then last for as long as three months as the body attempts to heal itself.
If the swelling lasts longer than this, your physical therapist or doctor may need to take a closer look to determine the cause of the delayed healing.
After an injury or accident the back pain can occur within minutes or immediately after the accident or the back pain may not occur until a few days or even weeks later.
The organs that can cause lower back pain are.
Large Intestines.
Appendix.
Pancreas.
And your Kidneys.
Lower back pain can be caused by issues such as.
Kidney infection.
Kidney stones.
Pancreatitis.
Ulcerative colitis.
Gynecological disorders such as endometriosis and fibroids.
When your bladder and your lower back hurt it is most likely because you have kidney stones or stones in the ureter which is the tube that connects the kidney to the bladder.
The three most common causes of bladder pain are interstitial cystitis, urinary tract infection, and bladder cancer.
The bladder and kidneys are located towards the lower abdomen, with back muscles and nerves sitting directly behind them.
Because these areas are so close together, bladder conditions may cause pain in the back, and issues affecting the back muscles, spine, or nerves, can impact your bladder and lead to incontinence.
You can tell if your back pain is kidney related because kidney related back pain occurs deeper and higher up in the back.
Kidney back pain can be detected by knowing where the back pain is coming from.
With Kidney back pain the back pain occurs deeper and higher up in the back while muscle back pain typically occurs lower and less deep in the back.
When you have a kidney infection both sides of your back will usually hurt although if your left kidney is infected then your left side of your back may hurt and if your right kidney is infected then your right side of your back may hurt.
Back Pain from kidney infections occur mostly deeper and higher up in the back.
Pain from the kidneys is felt in the sides, or in the middle to upper back (most often under the ribs, to the right or left of the spine).
Signs of a kidney infection include.
Strong, persistent urge to urinate. Burning sensation or pain when urinating. Nausea and vomiting. Pus or blood in your urine (hematuria)
Kidney back pain will feel like regular back pain but unlike regular back pain the kidney back pain is deeper and higher up the back.
The kidneys are located underneath the ribcage, on each side of the spine.
Pain from the kidneys is felt in the sides, or in the middle to upper back (most often under the ribs, to the right or left of the spine).
Kidney stone pain will feel like sharp pain in the lower abdomen, typically on one side and also a burning sensation or pain while urinating.
You might also be urinating frequently.
Kidney pain can go away on it's own if it's nothing serious.
Although if you do have kidney pain and it lasts longer than a few days you certainly should see a doctor as it could be something serious.
When your left kidney hurts it can be caused by kidney stones, urinary tract infection, kidney infection, an injury or kidney cancer.
The same is true if it's your right kidney that hurts.
If either of your kidneys hurt you should see a doctor to have tests done because it may be nothing serious and then again it could be something serious that needs medical attention.
You can check your kidneys at home by using an at home urine test kit.
You can buy at home urine test kits online and then take a test of your urine at home to detect protein in the urine or other problems with your kidneys.
Many of the tests used by Walk-In-Lab's home kidney testing kits use either a blood or urine sample collected at home.
Your collection kit will include the supplies you need and instructions for collection.
Blood spot tests require only a fingerstick with a lancet.
Although you should still see a doctor if you think something is wrong with your kidneys as kidney problems can be bad and if your kidneys are failing then you need dialysis or you can die.
The signs that something is wrong with your kidneys include swollen ankles, swollen feet protein in your urine, puffy hands, feet, ankles, legs, or a puffy face.
Some warning signs of kidney disease and kidney failure include.
You're more tired, have less energy or are having trouble concentrating.
You're having trouble sleeping.
You have dry and itchy skin.
You feel the need to urinate more often.
You see blood in your urine.
Your urine is foamy.
You're experiencing persistent puffiness around your eyes.
And even a change in the color of your urine.
When your kidneys are failing the color of your urine can be the colors of either purple, red or brown in color.
Your kidneys are responsible for making urine and filtering out waste and when your kidneys are failing your urine can change in color and you may urinate less often, or in smaller amounts than usual, with dark-colored urine.
Your urine may contain blood.
The 5 stages of kidney failure include.
Stage 1 with normal or high GFR (GFR > 90 mL/min)
Stage 2 Mild CKD (GFR = 60-89 mL/min)
Stage 3A Moderate CKD (GFR = 45-59 mL/min)
Stage 3B Moderate CKD (GFR = 30-44 mL/min)
Stage 4 Severe CKD (GFR = 15-29 mL/min)
Stage 5 End Stage CKD (GFR <15 mL/min)
Signs of stage 5 kidney failure include.
Uremia (waste buildup in your blood) Fatigue—possibly caused by anemia. Shortness of breath. Nausea or vomiting.
Kidney failure is when your kidneys have stopped working well enough for you to survive without dialysis or a kidney transplant.
Your kidneys have lost their ability to filter waste from your blood.
Kidney failure is also called end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) or end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
Other than having a kidney transplant there is no cure for kidney failure, but it is possible to live a long life with treatment.
Having kidney failure is not a death sentence, and people with kidney failure live active lives and continue to do the things they love.
Signs and symptoms of kidney failure include.
Fatigue (extreme tiredness)
An upset stomach or vomiting.
Confusion or trouble concentrating.
Swelling, especially around your hands or ankles.
More frequent bathroom trips.
Muscle spasms (muscle cramps)
Dry or itchy skin.
It was thought that kidney cells didn't reproduce much once the organ was fully formed, but new research shows that the kidneys are regenerating and repairing themselves throughout life.
If you notice any of the following severe kidney infection symptoms, head to your nearest emergency room immediately: Pain in your back, side, or groin. Nausea or vomiting. High fever.
A natural death from kidney failure does not hurt.
As toxins build up in your blood, you will start to feel sleepy.
Water building up in your blood can make it hard to breathe.
You may want to have treatments that remove water but not toxins, to make you comfortable.
Conditions commonly linked to back pain include: Muscle or ligament strain.
Repeated heavy lifting or a sudden awkward movement can strain back muscles and spinal ligaments.
If you're in poor physical condition, constant strain on your back can cause painful muscle spasms.
