@jakethesnakerobertz1 It's hereditary but...all of my mothers side got it around age 32-45, but I'm only 20 so...I'm not pissing blood and I don't feel nauseous, I have no common symptoms of PKD, but since I can't see a doctor due to financial and insurance issues, I have to rely on the internet. ><

@InfurnusChaotix what is the major Age risk a person can get this? you may have Kidney stones or just Cyst

@jakethesnakerobertz1 They don't really 'hurt' they just feel sort of like they're being pushed against, and this feeling switches between the sides of my back, it doesn't really feel like the muscle either. And the last time I checked, -I was able to see the doctor a month ago- My blood pressure is perfect. What could this be? Any idea?

@InfurnusChaotix what do they feel like?

All of my mothers family had this shit, and just my luck, I have no goddamn insurance and my kidneys have been feeling weird and strange for the past 3-4 weeks...I really hate this shit, I'm bawling like a bitch. I can't even go to the doctors cause I don't have a job, -Trying to find one- and I'm praying It's either nothing or a small infection.

@Lima547 no what I mean was, its not gunu be inherited from you cousin or your pet cat.....your statement was quite obv tbh lol

[Lima547]

@ben2nd from my Mom, who died in 2005 aged 47 from a stroke, which is also related to PKD. About 10% with patientes with PDK are prone of having a stroke.

@Lima547 its inherited from your mom or your dad??? HURR DURR DERP DERP DERP DERP

[Lima547]

@EonTheReal PKD is inherited from your mom or Dad. It 's a genetic disease. Check the occurrence of PKD in your family tree first. If no one had it, you will have anything but PKD.
