glennycHey a few yrs ago i passed 3 kidney stones, it was horrible, very painful. Anyways alil over a yr ago i started wakein up in the mornin, sometimes the middle of the night, wit nasty kidney pain. As soon as id get up the pain would go away, thats the diff between this pain an kidney stone pain, kidney stone pain dont go away till u pass the stone. My urine is sometimes cloudy an or dark, especially in the mornin. Anyways this has been goin on id say 90% of my mornins for over a year now an idk what to think but its gotten to the point now were i get the pain whenever i lay down for more than like 20 min, but goes away when i get up, anybody have any clues on whats goin on? Im 30 yr old male.

Thank you for ur concern, well for one thing im just gettin over a long addiction to opiates. I been takin suboxen for alil while now. Health wise i feel fine, my blood pressurre is normal, im alil sore once in awhile, nuttin unusual. I do notice i have alot of headaches, again though nuttin really overboard. My urine is ussually dark an pretty foul smellin. An only hurts right were my kidney is on my lower back, left side. Like i said i did pass some kidney stones a few yrs ago but the pain was alil diff wit the kidney stones than the pain i got now. Kidney stones was more of sharp, make u wanna cry pains were the pain i got now is more of constant, sore, acky like pain.Always when im layin down for awhile or pretty much every day when i wake up. But id say 5 to 10 min after i get up it goes away.Hope this helps some, would love to figure this out, its got me pretty nervous cuz im fearin its sumtin bad.
I believe the best course of action are tests, blood, urine, urine protein determination, urine microalbumin determination, urine sediment examination.
Measuring kidney function

And definetely go for an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan - MRI scan exposes the body to a strong magnetic field and creates images based on the molecular composition of different organs and tissues. The amount of fine detail in the pictures is greater than with either the ultrasound or CAT scan. However, the procedure, since it involves exposing the patient to a strong magnetic field, cannot be used in those who have metal devices in their bodies (such as pacemakers or defibrillators). The procedure may also be somewhat difficult for patients to undergo, since the patient must lie still in a dark, enclosed tunnel and must not be upset by banging noises made by the machinery. MRI scans are sometimes done with a special type of dye (administered by IV) called gadolinium: this dye is not used in patients with moderately- to severely-reduced renal function because of a risk of adverse effects particularly in a condition called "nephrogenic systemic fibrosis".
I hope this information helps, amd belive is the right course of action to diagnose what you have got.
Take care and good luck.-
