I have been having pain in my lower back with some pain radiating to my front right. It has gotten worse over the past 2 months. It hurts when touched. I also have not been urinating as much as I think I should compared to my intake. When I do there is a very strong odor. I also have been noticing stains in my new underwear that I question may be dark blood. I am concerned about my kidneys. What would you suggest I do?
As per your history and symptoms pain can be from spine. I will advise you clinical examination and required investigation.
Another possibility of your back pain can be due to muscle strain or renal calculi. You may need X ray and Ultrasonography. You may need to do MRI spine to see for nerve compression
