What Can I Do For Severe Back Pain?

I m having severe back pain in kidney area, went to family doctor today, they ran labs, said they should be back in about 2 hours. They sent me home saying that they would call me with the results. I never heard anything back. I have done as instructed, drank plenty of water and used heat on back. My back continues to hurt very bad and now seems to want to radiate over onto my right side to front of stomach. Could it be serious at this length of time?

Hi,

Pain over the loin area might be due to renal calculi (Calculus/stones in kidney/ureter) mostly.

An ultrasound scan is mandatory for this situation. Don't worry much but be careful. Early diagnosis will help you to get better fast.

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

Regards,
