Today I awoke with pain on the left side of my back right around where my kidneys are. I am currently taking citalopram, doxycycline, and clindamycin phosphate. The pain has lasted all day and I have never had pain here before. Do you think it could be a problem with my kidneys?
Hi thanks for your query. The pain you mentioned could be unrelated to your kidney. Backache can be a part of the multiple somatic disorder.it could be related to depression as well.....it can be related to excess intake of doxycycline. But nonetheless you need to rule out ANALGESIC NEPHROPATHY. I suggest you get a renal ultrasound and a MRI of the spine after a trial of 7\u00a0days painkillers. Also get a complete urine examination. Stop clindamycin and review with your family doctor. Thank you
