Victoria..................I have the same pain as you have described. I also take milk thistle (1000mg 1XD) and I was thinking maybe the pain was associated with the cleaning effect on the liver and kidneys. Since being on the milk thistle I have had a problem with a lot of sediment being deposited in my bladder. So much so that it has stopped up my Foley catheter on several occasions. I now do a bladder irrigation every two days. The sediment production has declined significantly in the last two weeks. I go to my urologist on the 12th of September so I will ask him about the sediment and get him to do a cystascopy if necessary............Cody in Austin      ----- Original Message ----- From: Victoria To: tmic-list@eskimo.com Sent: Tuesday, August 29, 2006 3:34 PM Subject: [TMIC] RE HI Gang--I don't know if anybody is interested in this , BUT!!  I keep having recurrent HORRIBLE pain across my back.....in my kidney area.  The pain sometimes shoots up my shoulder blades or scapulas.   Other than lying in the ER all nite (which I've previously done) on IV narcotic meds for the pain, I've found something else that works miracles, & I had a hard time believing this too, till I tried it:   MILK THISTLE.  When the pain starts for me, I take about 4-6 a day......& the pain goes away.  I've told other tm'ers about this herbal product as well, & I'm not the only one who has had the same effect.   I read online that milk thistle relieves the "congestion" in the liver & kidneys.  In MY case, my tm was caused by exposure to toxic molds, which I inhaled.  I have proof of that now.....   If anybody's interested, check with your doctors....but it sure works for me.   God bless, all.
