I'm a 26 year old student. Not everyday, but quite often, when I wake up in the morning (and it's only when I wake up) My kidneys throb with pain for anywhere from 30 seconds to 20 minutes. I went to a doctor not long ago and he gave me a full examination. Even did the latex glove thing (whatever that has to do with my kidneys) Hey took a urine sample and utrasound. He just shrugged his shoulders and said "You're perfectly healthy, just get more exercise" ...
Ok, I exercise everyday .. it still happens and now it's getting even worse.
Any speculations as to what it is? I've had it since I was like 18 years old.

consult your doctor for rechecking and if your kidneys are normal ,other causes may be responsible like muscular or spinal causes.

 Hi kryp71k,
In reality kidneys do not throb.What you are feeling is spasmodic pain in your lumbar region(renal angles) which is throbbing in nature- causing you to believe that your kidneys are throbbing.
Pain in that area can be multifactorial.Some causes are listed below...
- renal pain
- musculo-skeletal pain(sprains/strains/spondylosis)
- referred pain from pelvic organs.
Therefore, in the event that the pain should continue, one should first exclude a renal cause(stones/UTI) or a pelvic cause, and then proceed to look for a musculo-skeletal cause.
