Mysomewhat knowledge tells me-its his kidneys.  thank you
Hi, thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. There are numerous causes for low back pain. The commonest causes are* any problems related to the lumbosacral spine like disc disease, lumbar strain, a nerve irritation, facet joint problem, spinal stenosis, inflammatory arthritis etc.* Intro abdominal causes like Kidney related conditions, liver problems, pancreatic problems etc.* Pelvic inflammatory conditions in female patients* Vascular causes, a detailed physical examination and appropriate investigations are necessary to establish the correct diagnosis. In the meantime, use some analgesics/ muscle relaxant preparations along with ice packing of the affected area once in 2 hours to alleviate the pain. Hope this information is helpful. Good day
