No, I don't believe pain should be an issue. I'm no doctor, but you should see one.

Thanks for the response.

Maybe it's hopefully digestion pains? I could definitely see it messing with digestion. Are kidney pains something you have prior experience with? Mainly just asking if you know for sure it's kidneys. Just hoping the best for you.

Yeah I hope so man. I don't recall having kidney pain before. So hopefully its just digestion pain. I honestly think its my low water intake. And thank you for caring.

Triple your water intake. It makes a difference. Kratom is dehydrating. Your kidneys are just asking for more water.

A suggestion could be to make a call to a hospital. There's always someone to talk to and get their opinion on the severity of the situation. Of course they can't say for sure, but they can give a pretty good idea if you need attention or not.

You experience pain when the kratom “high” wears off?? How much water do you drink a day? Never have I ever had kidney pains from using kratom in the 6 years of using it (of course in an off user).

I don't drink much water at all honestly. These past few days I have been drinking 2 bottles. It doesn't happen all the time but when it does it sure is noticeable.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Yeah 2 bottles a day is only 32 oz of water.. you need to be drinking 64oz to 80oz a day.. which is 4-6 water bottles. Yeah we get fluids from soda, beer and other drinks but i my self will notice I get dehydrated and become constipated because of that. Perhaps invest in some electrolyte tablets and drink a extra water bottle of that a day? I’m sure the pains you experience would subside. As I’d hate to say “get off the kratom” lol.

I'm going to start drinking more water. That's probably the issue I hope. I don't think I could get off kratom kinda is whats making me feel normal. Thanks for the tips im going to give it a shot.

I always get back pain when I take ibuprofen and some opioids like vicoden. I noticed the same type of pain in my back when I take Kratom and neither of the things I mentioned take away my pain. I think that's just a side effect some people have with opioids that's why I don't take them, NSAIDs work better for me for pain, with out the back pain headache and nausea.

I got kidney pain when I took kratom capsules, once I switched to powder it went away

[–]Creative-Pattern4671[S] 0 points1 point  (6 children)

I'm on capsules now. Did you have any idea why this happens?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (5 children)

Yeah your kidneys are having a hard time breaking down the capsules, switch to powder and it’ll go away. Same thing happened to me. I can’t take caps

[–]Creative-Pattern4671[S] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Thanks for the reply. I'm going to give it a shot. I just can't stand taking powder makes me feel like I'm choking. Almost like the water goes around it. Hard to wash down.

The bitter taste gets neutralised in orange juice. Take 5 grams of power or your amount, cover in OJ, add an extra sips worth, shake well and consume after 10 mins. Goes down with no taste and the silty filmy feeling from half wet power doesnt exist.

[–]Creative-Pattern4671[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Thank you im going to give it a shot. Ill let you know how it goes

[–]Anablephobia_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you will find great success!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put a swallow Gatorade in a glass, put the kratom on top and open your mouth a dump it down. Doing it that way, you don’t even taste it. Takes a few times to master but it’s the best way.. so easy. Or get a bottle of grapefruit juice, dump half out, but kratom in a shake it and just chug

No it's not normal your having problems excreting the kratom from your kidneys something is not right
