    after all of that excruciating pain in my back, it turns out i have hydronephrosis of my kidneys. it ranges from mild - moderate - severe and it's moderate in my right kidney where all the pain is coming from. :huh:

    does anyone have any experience with this? they say its my ureter being smushed by the baby.

    right now nothing. my back spasams and i ice it and go to the chiropractor 3 days a week as of right now. hopefully the pain doesnt get worse; thats when they will have to put stents in and i definitely do not want to do that!

    Oh wow! Yeah, getting stents put in would not be fun! I hope the ice and chiropractor do the trick! Good Luck!
