    Question

    For the past week I have been in pain in my lower back area. I don?t know if it's my kidneys or not, but I'm afraid. I went to use the rest room this morning and my urine is so dark and doesn't look with dark discharge on the toilet paper. It's not my period.

    Answer

    To the doctor with you - like today - and until then drink lots of water and cranberry juice.
