Hey Gang,
Earlier today, I began to get pain in my kidney area of my torso. I'm T-11 so it's difficult to localize the pain exactly, however, I think the pain is in the area that both kidneys belong. I self cath and seldom have infections. My urine output since getting the pains has been normal and I have no fluid in ankles etc. The pain is SHARP, not constant and comes ang goes intermittenly. Has anyone experienced this and does anyone have any idea what could be causing the pain? This is the first time I've experienced this issue. Thanks for the help !

You should talk to a doctor. Could be a small stone moving.

Carpe Diem
