i will just describe his symptoms. 3 days ago he got a feeling in his groin. he said it was like a twinge that came and went and when he took off his jeans he said it helped with the pain. this pain came and went, even yesterday. he said it felt like when you hold in pee for a really long time and finally go, the feeling your bladder makes when you really have to go. then today he told me last when he was having a bowel movement and was in a curved sitting position he got this ache in his back. he said it was with the twinge as well and it shot down from his lower back to just underneath his testicles. he said he gets some relief when he is standing but when he sits it is painful. he said his back is so sore like he just lifted weights. i can tell he is in a lot more pain than he really is in. im thinking a kidney infection but i just wanted to see if it sounded like something else.

It sounds like either a kidney infection or a kidney stone. Is he running a fever at all? He needs to have it checked out by a doctor as both are fairly easily taken care of. Let ud know what you find out.

thanks maryann! yes he is going to docs tonight. we thought it may have been a kidney stone the other day but ive had that and i dont think thats what it is i think kidney infection as ive had that and its sounds the same. i will def let you all know he thought maybe a hernia but i dont think its that.btw no fever or frequent urination or pain when he urinates but he has been very thirsty that last few months but im thinking its the hot weather.

So what did they do for him? At least something for the pain I hope.
