Brief Answer: Follows Detailed Answer: Dear Sir, Thank you for posting your query on HCM. Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that it will be very difficult to say anything on your symptoms but still we can discuss the possibilties . One is Gout , it can present like this so there is a need to get serum uric acid levels tested . Other can be spondyloarthropathy which can be triggered by a urine or stomach infection . Plus if you have a history of psoriasis or anybody in your family has it the likelihood of getting this kind of picture increases . I think you should need to see a rheumatologist for this because examination is very important to see what is actually going on . Till then for pain relief you can take naproxen tablet if there is no contraindication for that. Take care. Dr. Shruti

Brief Answer: Follows. Detailed Answer: Dear Sir, Gout does not affect the lower back but sometimes due to ongoing inflammation patient can have diffuse pain . Infected kidney will lead to hematuria , dull pain in lower back also and it can be unilateral , fever and sometimes burning micturition . There can be two etiologies going on one has to see and examine you to correlate things. Dr. Shruti
