It seems muscular but renal cause should ruled out
Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible. First of all it's sad to know what you had been going through lately.
Based on the history you have shared, it is most likely muscular but renal causes need to be ruled out. It's better to have an ultrasound KUB and get it examined for renal punch and other visceral abnormalities like enlarged spleen etc.
In absence of other systemic signs muscular is more favored though. OTC analgesics like acetaminophen or Ibuprofen can be helpful. Capciacin gel local application can also be beneficial. Muscle relaxants like orphenidine or tizindine may be needed too.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hope this has answered your query. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask. Regards
