<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I ve been having lower back pain recently, right above my hip on my right side. This is also the side where I have horseshoe kidneys. I was wondering if I should go see my doctor, or if it could be something serious.  <response>: Hello, Thanks for your query I would like to know whether your back pain is dull or severe, constant or intermittent. If you had such pain before I would advise you to get an ultrasound scan done and meet your local urologist. Horseshoe kidneys may occasionally have some obstruction or stones and these are usually detected on ultrasound. I hope I have answered your query. I will be happy to answer any follow-up queries that you may have. Thanks Chat Doctor.
