Re: to Knowledge Seeker, bruised skin around kidney

yes, I think seeing a doctor would be best just in case

Also see a chiropractor for the back pain

sometimes constipation can cause back problems and some people don't realize they are constipated. Even people with diarrhea can be constipated.

I would suggest a good Colon Cleanse by Richard Schulze 's intestinal formula #1 and #2 available at herbdoc.com

Remember he said 80% of his patients (and most of his patients were very ill) got results on colon cleansing alone.

Sorry I could not be of more help.
