For the last few days I have been experiencing pain on both sides of my lower back where my kidneys are located. If I am sitting or laying down the pain seems to ease up. However, when I walked my five year old to school this morning (it is only a couple of blocks away), I had to stop three times for several minutes until I could bear the pain and continue home. Both sides are painful, but the left is bothering me more the last couple of days. It feels like they are made of stone. I am also having a difficult time sleeping, yet I feel exhausted all of the time. A couple of weeks ago I had a UTI, but it cleared up withing just a couple of days.
Dear patient you seem.to.be suffering from mechanical.backache.  Pain that is relieved after rest usually do not arise from kidney. Fatigue may be the reason due to low hemoglobin levels and anemia. I would like to advise X-ray of lumbosacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views to rule out spine pathology. Complete blood count needs to be done to check for anemia and type of anemia. Meanwhile, start tab moral 4 mg twice a day with tab attract twice a day for pain relief. You need to start iron supplements for anemia. If reports are abnormal please consult spine surgeon nearby your area.
