Hi I am having some lower back pain in the kidney area. My back is tender to touch. Wasn t sure if it was a kidney infection or not. I have had the pain about a week now. I also have Fibromyalgia and thought maybe that was the cause of my pain. Thanks in advance Marie
Fellow backache may be due to many reasons like genitourinary causes, musculoskeletal reasons etc. You need proper clinical examination and routine investigations. Investigations include routine hologram, random blood sugar, liver function test, renal function test, urine RE/ME, ultrasound of abdomen, X-ray L/S spine (AP/Lateral view), Thyroid profile. It may also be due to low calcium level or muscle spasm. MRI of L/S spine can be done after evaluation. Proper treatment depend upon findings. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.
