Thing is that when I pee or masturbate and then sleep afterward straight, my lower back aches for like some amount of time. Idk why it is happening

    I had lower back pain for a while about 12 years ago when I was youngish.

    Ignored it for like a week because I thought I just slept weird.

    Then one day I asked someone to take me to the walk-in since it was getting worse.

    It was a Sunday so they were all closed, but by that time I was starting to shake. Asked to go to the ER.

    Once in the ER I’m sweating, shivering and shaking. Doctor takes one look at me and bumps me to the front of the line. Takes me in and immediately says I look like I’m going through septic shock. Puts me on IV antibiotics and morphine for the pain which was incredible at that point.

    Apparently I had a UTI which led to a bladder infection and eventually worked its way up to my kidneys and then poisoned my blood. Another week of 1hr per day IV antibiotics pumping through me and I was okay.

    If it weren’t Sunday I possibly could have died.

    So yeah, probably go see a doctor.

    Internet is not the right place to ask these kind of questions! Go see a doctor!

    UTI or a problem with your ureter. Get it checked out, I had an artery wrapped around mine, and I got extreme pain leaning back starting with puberty, didn’t get it checked out, eventually had a mass of scar tissue removed in my 20s, not fun. I had to go in when it caused a stone to form, and the doctor was so intimidated by it he sent me to a regional specialist.

    Center of your lower back? Can’t crack your spine, and massaging the muscles does nothing?

    Like everyone else said, kidney infection. And you want to take this very seriously! Drink LOTS of water, avoid energy drinks and sugary beverages and all that junk. Cause if you don’t, the infection WILL GET WORSE. It can get so bad you can’t even walk without being double over in pain!

    Also, damage to your kidneys is CUMULATIVE. Get lazy about staying hydrated again? It’ll come back with a vengeance!

    Sounds like the end is near. Better update your will (I’m missing from it!!)

    Seriously!!! For heck sake don’t ask the internet, go see your doctor or go to a clinic or something.

    It really might be your kidneys. Do you feel it in your spine or more to the side?

    You could also try and do some stretches everyday.

    How long has this been occuring? Do you only feel the pain upon waking up from sleep? Because that’s a strange detail tbh. What is your pain level? Is it an ache like soreness or is it a sharp pain?
