Tippytoes-
It still sounds like it may be a mattress issue...When you say you still have the problem "in another bed", is this with a new mattress?
Barring that, your lower back muscles/hip flexors/abdominals etc may need conditioning....
There are specific exercises for lower back pain, which you should check out with an orthopedist (most general practitioners don't have a clue). Gentle stretching, toning and strengthening exercises really help, but you need informed imput from an ortho person or physical therapist or you can do yourself more damage.
About 80% of the U.S. population (and most probably Canada too) suffers lower back pain at some point in their lives. Caused by muscle weakness, tension and inactivity.
Even when active, the wrong KIND of exercise can exacerbate things.
You mentioned in your first thread that you were palnning to see a doctor for a check up. Did you?
This does not in the least sound kidney related.
