Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In The Back
I am having moderate to severe pain in my back and kidney area. It feels like when I feel around the area, much more pain occurs. I do not believe I have ran fever with this, and I have been drinking cranberry juice, \which seems to help for a bit. What could this be? Do I need to see a Dr right away? YYYY@YYYY

Dear- thanks for using our service. Your back pain could be from the kidney but also from the back itself.I would suggest to get an urinary sample for urine analysis and culture in order to evaluate the possibility of urinary tract infection.If that comes back negative, you should have a back xray,because sometimes we have the impression that the back pain is from kidney and is from the back.
I hope my advise has been helpful
