A great person to ask is Dr. Sutter - ask Doc Sutter forum - He's pretty darned knowledgeable - try drinking some celery juice - very alkiline - it could be a bladder infection so I hope you get your tests back soon. are pains up in the back - right in that area of the kidneys - a doctor will usually strike it gently there to see if it hurts in your kidney. Its in the back but all the way to the side and kind of just under the ribs - a kidney infection is serious so don't mess around - if you don't get an answer here ask Doc Sutter. Go see a health practitioner who knows about this kind of thing.
