Has my rapid weight loss caused this pain?

For the past 3 months I've been trying to remove myself from a toxic relationship, it's been hard and very backwards and forwards and during a lot of this time I've lost my appetite. I have been eating but not much. I've now lost a stone and at 5ft 9 and now 9st I can see it and feel it. I look horrible. I am trying my hardest to eat more and have done for the last couple of days.

The thing is that my back on the left side really aches. It's not a sharp pain but is uncomfortable and I can feel it pretty much all the time, sometimes worse than others. The pain is under the bottom of my ribcage on the left. I feel completely exhausted too and today have felt dizzy even though I have been eating more.

Have I stuffed my kidneys up and how do I put the weight back on. I am impatient to feel like my old self.

Could be gallbladder related - often brought on by rapid weight loss.

Having mine removed was the best thing I ever did (Never mind the children!)

I thought gallbladder too but that is normally on the right side. I think you could have a kidney infection, go to your gP and get them to test your wee. Oh and get an urgent appointment, as if it is your kindeys it can get very nasty if not treated.

Der..kidneys. not kindeys.!

Ok, I'll get checked out. I assumed it wasn't a kidney infection as I don't have a temperature but thank you.
