Right now, the doctor recommended me to do stretches and work on posture. I'm doing the stretches but having trouble keeping my posture correct. I work 8 hours at a desk pretty much, but I did stop PC gaming and switched to console gaming where I can lean back, as opposed to hunching over.

Is that any bit beneficial or was I better off hunching over at home as well?

GFR less than 60. Yep, kidneys are damaged. Maybe he'll prescribe you ACE-I ? Maybe you have bilateral renal artery stenosis?

Damn, what a pain it must be to be an FP

ACEI? Bilateral Renal Artery Stenosis? FP?

He gave me arthritis medication for the pain I was complaining about, but it hasn't taken any of the edge off.

I'm only 23 by the way.

Damn i recognized the pic. Completely overlooked kidneys last time for the lower right pain because of the other symptoms (should have asked for a more detailed description of the pain).
Yeah, the 2 different kinds of pain are almost certainly unrelated.

The pain in your neck (at c7) is the classic pain you get from sitting at a computer, TV, drafting board, for 8+ hours a day with poor posture (i suspect half the anons in this thread have had it before). The arthritis meds are probably going to be useless. Do the stretches your doctor told you about, along with some of the ones i may have posted in the last thread if you saved them (focused on the upper back and neck, not so much the lower back strengtheners like the superman plank, though it won't hurt of course).

The lower-right pain is probably kidney, so that needs to be sorted out by the doc (or the nephrologist/urologist he might refer you to). Treatment depends on cause, they'll explain it.

Hunching over less will definitely help (though that should be kind of obvious).
I can also say that from personal experience (with celtic art: the ink-on-parchment work involves slaving over it for 40+ hours at a decline).
However, if the muscles are tight as hell and refuse to relax in any normal position, this won't work (unfortunately also have experience with that): in that case, the exercising and stretching will be the most important way to improve it. A PT/chiro/etc can easily tell if this is the case because range of motion will be drastically reduced.

Shiiiiet. I wish he'd call me, or at least email me a pain prescription that would work until I see him next month.

If he saw the same results I got, I figured he would've gotten ahold of me by now to discuss the kidney issues.

Maybe it isn't that big of a deal, and I shouldn't analyze the results myself?

Basically I think he needs to check out 200 different scenarios to decide how to help you and thinking about them makes my head hurt.

> pain in neck at C7
How? I thought C7 was sensation over the middle finger and triceps reflex. My brain is dead.

alskdjfalksjf now it says there's a past appointment yesterday involving a phone call with me, and I call them a moment ago because I don't want to go the whole weekend without following up, and they're like "okay, well the nurse will call you back and talk to you about it"


Now to keep playing the waiting game.

relax, it's a chronic problem.
your kidneys aren't going to suddenly fail over the weekend.
if they were gonna, someone woulda called you.

>>17215920
