I have been feeling cramp type pain for the past month, which occurs suddenly with movement. There are rashes on my back, but no major issues or other symptoms. I also had my blood checked three months ago for kidney function, and all reports were normal. The cramps mainly occur in the early morning. Could this be a symptom of any kidney disease? The cramps are always with me. Please suggest if my kidneys are fine.
