Ask your doctor to check your Catecholamines with a 24-hour urine test. This will confirm if you have unusually high adrenaline levels. You could have an adrenal tumor. Your syptoms sound like you might.

Have had pains with the rush of adrenaline right at the location of kidneys, feeling like the adrenal glands at the sides. Body is flexible, can bend it easily, so back only hurts when I arch my chest like a bow towards the front during these rushes of kidney stabs. The pain in the back is felt significantly in this process(but I have to bring my back in the hurtful position through the arch, I can easily stop it by leaning the other way) making it unusual for me, as I dont normally feel back pain besides if I do hardcore stretches. I have had an injury falling down from the roof of a garage(3 m) landing right on my back as I was around the age of 14, for a brief moment feeling like I couldnt move my legs, they suddnely booted up in a few tries and never had problems since. Same day of injury I walked home dirty, shrugging off the pain as a lightweight but felt some pain at night as adrenaline wore off.(I consider it unusual to shrug off such an injury for an average person who has proper muscle around their skeleton unlike me but I didnt go to hospital and forgot about it in a day) Others may feel the pain due to their muscles being way stronger, filling with blood and hardering, but because I am the weakest person I have ever met I may be exempt(Never achieved a pull up, limbs bend further than on a woman). Woke up from multiple bell door alerts today feeling the adrenaline rush hurting the kidney area, standing up and rapidly moving my arms to make use of the adrenaline seems to diminish the stabbing pain. No pain in the legs but I felt like they freeze me in place when I stand during these periods, as due to their nerve connections with the kidneys. I have felt a raising bubble sensation throbbing from my kidney area up to the back, in what felt like the place of aorta, which does not hurt me, yet is felt raising like a bubble, making burping harder. It started happening for the first time since I had to call paramedics for my father when he suddenly became unresponsive mumbling to me that he might be dying (Turned out to be mental breakdown and he is alive, pure stress) Life before was relaxing and I lived not knowing real stress besides one mugging incident from a load of masked people before(which left me with daily adrenaline rushes but no kidney pain whatsoever for at least two months),so calling paramedics who were doubting the terrible state of my fainting father brought out anger in me which I felt no control of. I have always been ashamed to display anger, looking down on it as something animalistic, but was unable to halt it during that one episode where it felt right for once yet I used the physical adrenaline boost on nothing but a few shouts. The throbbing sensation lasted for couple of weeks after and could be felt laying on my back, although free of any pain it left me feeling anxious of what it was. Only since then, at the age of 25, have my kidneys started to hurt from adrenaline release.

The reocurring theory on this thread that it happens in an unnatural position from ANGER or FEAR has merit, that the adrenaline ends up going nowhere and has now to remain in the system, with it happening many times over and over in peoples physically inactive lives seems to head in the right direction. The ongoing degenerative strain and usage of the adrenal glands with no recovery leads to the problem remaining, on top of filtering liquids that are not just clear water. Our body and its limbs are tools meant to solve anger and fear inducing problems by enhancing their effectiveness with adrenaline, which is given yet remains unused in a world where we end up using laws to solve them, bypassing escapes on our feet and physical confrontations.
I belong to the generation that has been experimented on the most in terms of easy dopamine through sugar and readily available pornography which is an andless rollercoaster on my adrenals.

Since sugar has been eliminated a year ago and a ketogenic diet has been implemented, I am doing the last step attempting a recovery for the adrenals by excluding pornography for an extended period of time. There will be no magic way around to find the cure, but letting organs recover without stressors on the adrenal glands have to display results.
People here not often mention their masturbation habits, which for me, are daily and ongoing for many hours and times a day, straining adrenals and halting recovery for YEARS until up into our old age. A major stress incident without a subsequent recovery by abstaining from ALL exhaustions towards the adrenal glands such as sugar, unclear liquid and porn won't ever get us closer to any results. We have to increase physical movement so other limbs receive adrenaline receptors and get fed by the release instead of just our only spot tensed during those situations, which is our ass and back.

TLDR Starting today and reporting results later.
Sugar free for a year to stop hormonal disbalances that involve the kidney, stopping masturbation today as it keeps straining adrenals and not letting them recover.
-Cold showers to simulate stressful situations with adrenaline release with subsequent movement of all limbs(exercise) to spread the hormones around the body, teaching the body not to trap them in the back.

Before leaving here brainstorms for your doctors to guess:

-Adrenaline gathers, no muscle used besides back when sitting down, adrenaline concentrating in just one spot
-Attempt inducing adrenaline with exercise of all limbs before healthy cold showers [Wim Hof method if you prefer, google the magic man] and exercise after showers, spreading adrenaline so it doesnt park in one spot in the future
I am not a medical professional, but these have only laughed at people like us so far, so give your advice of what you think might make sense I will lab rat it out

All,

I experience the exact same thing during those intense adreneline (aka fight or flight) scenarios. It seems counter intuitive that it would literally debilitate me by seizing my low back. If i was ever truly facing a life or death scenario, I'm afraid that my back would seize such that I couldn't be capable of either fighting (something I did a fair bit of when I was a much younger guy) or flight. I'm 57 now and remember this happening to me for the last 20ish years. Maybe longer. I'm diabetic today however, this has been happening much longer than my adult onset diabetes 10 years ago. It pre dates me even taking any prescriptions.

You are not alone. I have experienced it for years. When I'm frightened or startled. It is excruciating for several seconds, then subsides within 30 seconds. It takes my breath away. I want to scream from the pain. It is a radiating feeling on both kidney areas.

Interesting about omeprazole. I took it for years, during the time I began to experience these agonizing throbbing back pain episodes.
When I see similarities I can't help but think it's related!!
Wishing you relief from your psychiatric disorder. Thank you for being a brave soldier who will fight to keep us free

Another victim here.

Age 59. First suffered this after some aggressive driving, maybe about 20 years ago. Interestingly, I too had some spinal fluid taken at about the same time as this. Doesn't happen often, last painful bout was after rushing downstairs to grab a courier delivery and then sitting back at my desk. Sometimes get it mildly early morning when I've got stuff on my mind, ie anxious.

Had an MRI scan in 2019, that was a privately done general screening abdominal scan (not to investigate this), nothing unusual there, I still have the scans on a thumb drive will probably get local doctor to have a look. I assume they'd see any AAA so I haven't worried about that too much.

Be good to get a definitive answer to this problem.

I've had this same problem for years. Intense debilitating pain in the kidney area following for example a near traffic accident or running to catch a bus. I have to hold onto something to help contain the pain. It lasts maybe a minute or two. Doctors look at me bewildered when I explain the symptoms. I'm 74 years old and been happening just very occasionally for over twenty years. Nobody in the medical profession seems to have any answers do they?

Wow, seems no definitive answers here, but it's comforting to know I'm not alone! I had an incident 4 days ago where I hit a deer doing 60mph. Significant damage to my car, but no personal injuries. After I pulled off the side of the highway I had severe sharp shooting pains in my lower left back (shooting up to mid-back). Occurred every few seconds for about 30 seconds, then stopped. Would be great if docs didn't look at you like you were crazy when you describe such incidents!

This just happened to me. I was at a car wash , someone tried entering my car. He got aggressive. I was so scared. I'm a woman who just turned 40 and I was there alone. When I finally got away I had this sudden pain and yes it lwas me to your story.

I've had this happen after altercations etc... for about 25 years. I am 55. I've had scans and they found nothing. Nothing online fits the throbbing after adrenalin rushes. My doctor just said not to get stressed.....talk about stating the obvious. I think that maybe one day, like all things that scientists keep discovering, that they will find out what this is and be able to treat it, hopefully soon so we can all stop the pain. Yes, at least it's only a few minutes but I hope someone on here can get a dictor to find out precisely what it is.

I never realized so many people suffer from this. It first started about 10 yrs ago for me when I got pulled over in a traffic stop by about 4 cops. It was late at night and I did not commit a violation. I was leaving Port Everglades and during the traffic stop my phone rang. One of the cops told me "do not answer that phone and I wanted to tell my husband I was being pulled over but the cop said again do not answer that phone. I asked why are you stopping me and they said they were checking drivers licenses. Also they shined bright flash lights in my eyes. And the next thing I know I felt like I couldn't move and pain shot up my back. It has happened several times again if I get really scared about something. I do suffer from panic attacks for many years but I refuse to take any prescription drugs. I know its just my emotional traits. I do take herbal remedies sometimes. Things like valerian or lemon balm or skullcap. I have something called "Chill pill" made by a company called Aura Cacia. All I have to do is open the bottle and breathe some in. I guess in the end it is a part of being human and worrying about it doesn't help-our bodies are more sensitive to scary situations

I have had this since I was a kid, about 7 ish. I'm 38 now. I get it mostly when I'm angry (a lot) especially with road rage. I have never known anyone else to have it until now so thanks for that. I have noticed that you have to let it out to make it end faster. i.e when it comes with/after roadrage turn the music up really loud and scream it out. Still hurts like hell but it's over quicker.

Hello, here are some general tips that may help:

Relaxation Techniques: Practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga to help manage stress and anxiety, which might be contributing to the pain.

Proper Posture: Pay attention to your posture, especially during stressful situations. Poor posture can strain the muscles and contribute to back pain.

Regular Exercise: Engage in regular physical activity, such as walking, swimming, or stretching exercises, to strengthen your back muscles and improve overall flexibility.

Heat and Cold Therapy: Applying a heating pad or taking a warm bath may help relax tense muscles. On the other hand, using an ice pack can reduce inflammation and numb the area, providing some relief.

Pain Relief Medications: Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen might offer temporary relief. However, always follow the recommended dosage and consult a healthcare professional if the pain persists.

Avoid Triggers: Identify if there are specific situations or activities that trigger the pain and try to avoid or manage them appropriately.

Remember, these are just general suggestions, and they may not address the underlying cause of your pain. It's essential to seek medical advice for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

Good luck!
