Kidney Stone Pain Questions
I went to the ER a few days ago because I was puking because my lower back hurt so bad. I ended up sitting there for 3 hours and they still didn’t see me, and by then the pain had dulled so I just went home. Now I go to the bathroom more frequently, ‘down there’ really hurts, like there’s pressure on it, and I have no energy. Is there something wrong with my kidneys?

Kidney pain is where kidneys are (* in the back), Down there pain is from urinary track infection that may have come from any where including Kidneys.
See a Dr. Start with your regular family Dr. 3 hours is very normal wait.
In the mean time drink a gallon of water per day. It will help but most of all it is a very good healthy habit.
* Kidneys can be located by putting your open palm on your waist fingers in the front and thumb in the back. In the general area of the thumb is where your kidneys are located. So the pain from kidney trouble will be in the area of the thumb contact at the back.
