I'm feeling this strange heaviness in both of my kidneys over the past week. I had a shockwave treatment for kidney stones in my right kidney about 1.5 months ago. There's no pain, no blood in my urine, and no signs of infection, but this heaviness is bothering me. I usually drink alcohol about three times a weekcould that be causing it? I'm really not sure what's going on, and any advice or suggestions you have would really help.

Firstly please cut down on your alcohol content because it is like poison for your kidneys. Even if you take all the medicines prescribed to you properly, the alcohol will negate their effect.
