I am female age 53...I have been getting bad pains around the left side where my kidneys are, and can hardly walk, (my water works are all o.k).. A hospital doctor recommended I go to physio,because it s my back.. for the last week I ve been going, my back is fine..the pain in my left side though, seem s to be getting worse.. can you help??
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, I must opine that an ultrasound scan of abdomen is the single test to know for sure, if your pain is related to the left kidney. If you've not done it so far, get it done at the earliest. If you've done it already, then the cause of your pain originating from the left kidney, should be clear. If you've any other doubt, you may send me a copy of the reports, here, in my name.  Wish you well.
