I´m so happy I found this site! It's so interesting to meet people who have the same condition and hear their stories. I have also been diagnosed with a floating kidney. It took a while for the doctors to figure it out and x-ray showed nothing, obviously, as the kidney fell into it's normal position when I lay down. At a point I really thought the doctor's considered me hysterical. Finally, after some pushing from my part, they did an ultrasound with me standing up and they found it. Relief! When you find a big lump in your stomach it's easy to think it's cancer... so a floating kidney is a much better outcome.
However, I have some pain and I feel sick a lot and haven't been able to eat properly lately. I have an appointment to the urologist (sorry, don't know the proper word, I'm from Sweden :) and hopefully he/she can come up with some solution. It seems like it's a rare condition?
Does anyone know if it's right that it mostly happens to women who are tall and slim, who exercise a lot and eat to little? I am/do all of these things. Can it get better if you get fatter? I also did an hysterectomy in 2010 and one of the doctors said that it could have some kind of effect.
I also wonder if anyone knows if it's dangerous to run when you have this? I live for running and right now I'm too scared to run.

I hope everything works out for everyone here.
