Ha ing low back pain across the low back from hip to hip. It s more of an ache, but can get to approx. a 6 on the pain scale. It goes away when I lay down. Bothers me more when I m sitting. I first need to ask a question based on my most worrisome concern...what symptoms would indicate a Kidney issue?

Hi Thank you for asking HCM I have gone through your query. As you don't have pain while lay down it is most likely spinal cause. But better to have an ultrasound abdomen and pelvis to rule out problems with kidney. X ray of lumbosacral spine will be helpful to rule out spinal problems. In such case muscle relaxants physiotherapy and exercises will be helpful. Thanks.

Hi Thank you for asking HCM I have gone through your query. Problems like kidney stone can be sometimes silent and sometimes will dull ache. But it can give colic pain when stone cause an obstruction. So better to do an ultrasound examination to rule out any such pathology. You can also have painful urination when there is secondary bacterial infection or small stone particles pass through urethra. Thanks.
