Can you body Work on 1 kidney while the other dies?
As Title Really. Seeing GP on Thursday, As last week been getting Pains in my Kidney (left), Well where the kidney is im 100% its that and not a pulled muscle or anything, i think its dieing as i can feel it moving etc, Is it possiable for it to Die and the other continue working and not notice? Or would i be in more pain? I dont think its kidney stones. as i have no idea what the symptoms are for that!

You may have a kidney infection. I think it's rather premature (to put it mildly) to be thinking it's packing up

Dont be all doom and gloom. Pain in this area can be contributed to a whole host of things and not necessarily kidney failure. Kidney failure incidentally does not usually cause any pain. However, I am not a clinician and I'm sure this wont be the first reply that will tell you to go to the docs and stop self diagnosing.

If you get the all clear, I'm nominating this for Hypochondriac thread of the year. I doubt your kidney is doing a death throw mate.

Its more likely to be a kidney stone or infection than it is all out renal failure - if it's your kidney in distress it should feel a bit like lower back pain. Is your urine clear/ blood free ? Has the pain woken you up? Has the pain made you vomit? If the answers are yes, no and no then I reckon you'll be OK. If not, prepare for a hideous onslaught of pain and misery

ORIGINAL: Greenranger You can survive with one packed in kidney yes. You been on supplements 4 weeks sounds like the supplements are the problem. Cause I been on mine few weeks and the pain and movement started from then. You want to try staying of them for 1 week and more and see if the pain goes and the movement.
I lost 3 stones = 42lbs Im well happy!

Many people have only one kidney (after transplants, etc..) and live long and healthy lives.. you're worrying over nothing...

cant believe your asking a group of bbers this kind of a queston rather than your GP its perfectly possible to survive with 1 kidney- although if your kidney really is dieing (  ) then i expect the greater concern would be: 1) why its dieing 2) will the 2nd follow 3) what else is at risk
