Hi,

I understand your concern and would explain that the lumbar back pain could be related to the slipped disc or the kidneys. The pain may be recurrent because of kidney stones or as chronic back pain.

For this reason, I would recommend performing a lumbar spine X-ray study and an abdominal ultrasound. You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka,
Cardiologist
