Question: healthy male, 60yr
Having severe lower back pain, kidney/flank area, both sides (last 3 days). Can't hardly get out of bed or bend over. Not a back muscle strain.
Fear maybe internal- kidney (no urinary problems), appendix (had been no other problems), gall bladder (no digestive issues), cancer?
