Left Flank Pain With Nausea And Weakness Radiating To Shoulder And Back Area. What Could It Be?
Question: I have left flank pain with nausea and weakness/ dizziness. Pain radiating to back shoulder area.
Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting on XXXXXXX
Left flank pain could be due to a good number of reasons but the most likely is kidney infection or nephritic colic/ kidney stone. You will need that a urine test, blood test, kidey ultrasound be done in order to confirm or rule out my suspicion. I suggest that you go to the ER as soon as possible in order to get immediate medical attention.
Hope this helps
