I have been on PD now since August. Occasionally, probably at least three times each week, I will get excrutiating back pain during my treatments. I will wake up with so much pain in my lower back that I will have to sit up and will hardly be able to catch my breath. The pain seems to be very localized in the area where my kidneys are. It is deep, not a muscular pain. I only get these pains during my treatments. Once I disconnect and get up and walk around, the pains cease. Is this normal? Is it something I should be worried about? Other than this, I feel exceptionally better than I ever did on hemo so do not want to have to go back to that. Please advise....
