A bad back turns every twenty four hours into one dull round of pain and misery-you are lame in the morning, nagged all day by a dull, throbbing backache, can't rest in the evening or sleep well at night. It hurts to bend over. straighten up, get-up from a chair. or lift even a light weight. Any sudden twist, turn or awkward movement sends a tear ing twinge of pain through the weak spot
 Backache is really kidney The kidneys are in the small of the back, and any pain there is enough cause to suspect your. kidneys. If the urine is discolored, contains sandy sediment, or passes too frequently, then you have double proof.
