I bent over one week ago and hurt my back, my doctor gave me Codeine Phos and panadol for the pain. All was going well until yesterday when I bent again and got a pain in my lower back and buttocks, could this maybe a kidney infection ?  I dont seem to have any other symptoms, cant sit or leep without pain and discomfort.Thankyou Pauline
Hi, Thanks for posting your query. From description, it seems that you had developed lumbar strain. The symptoms you presented not points toward kidney infection. Give rest to the injured part and do not involve in activities which puts additional strain on the injured tissues. Avoid lifting heavy weights and forward bending activities. Use a lumbosacral back support. Applying muscle relaxant gel and taking anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Hope this will help you. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries. Wish you good health. Take care. Regards.
