Why does my kidney mildly hurt sometimes in the morning?

If you are pregnant, sleeping on your sides or in various positions "squishes" alot of your organs especially the bladder. That may be the case. Try drinking more water because many pregnant women do not drink enough water due to the constant need to use the restroom.

For non-pregnant people, your kidneys hurting mildly can be ignored for the most part. Try drinking more water. However if you had a urinary tract infection (UTI) in the past, then a kidney pain can mean that the infection traveled up into the upper urinary tract and probably to the kidneys - which means its serious! Kidney pain can also indicate kidney stones.

What hurts more giving birth or getting kicked in the nuts?

Original Answer: Giving birth! the contractions alone hurt enough to drive you temporarily insane, but they come and go I'm sure that a kicked set of nuts would hurt constantly for a few days or more :/ so nuts would hurt longer.

I would disagree.

For one it's impossible to tell, since nobody has both.

But people say Giving Birth! But if you think about it could just be a quick birth that goes right and little pain. Yes getting kicked square in the nuts with steel studs on would probably hurt more.

Thing is the time of giving birth is probably less than the amount of times a guy will get kicked there.. So.. at the time giving birth, But they have alot of medication and support, while a guy gets kicked. Without choice or warning, Then laughed at.

Your choice.

I read in a study where the initial "burst pain" of testicle pain was equal to 256 Childbirths. HOWEVER, the testicle pain is there for about 5-8 minutes vs the HOURS of childbirth. So in conclusion the burst is MANY times worse than childbirth but the childbirth is longer endured. I'll post a link if I can find it again

You have taken codeine30 with paracetamol can you take tramadol50 as its been 3 hours since you taken them?

Tramadol is a very strong pain killers and I would not recommend you take it with Codeine or Paracetamol as Tramadol already contains Paracetamol and will increase your risk of experiencing unpleasant side effects.

I would recommend you continue taking your Paracetamol or Codeine every 4-6 hours as prescribed and take your last dose before bed. The next day, begin taking Tramadol but at a low dose, for example only 1 pill because Tramadol can also have some unpleasant side effects.

If your pain is very severe, you should contact your Doctor, particularly if your pain relief is not working and/or the pain came on suddenly.
