What Causes Back Muscle Spasms In The Kidney Area?

I am just curious why my PA mentioned the possibility of being put in the hospital. I was misdiagnosed by her and their staff apparently several times now as having back muscle spasms in the kidney area. They give me a steroid injection, another Toridal I think it's called injection and Vicodin and sent me home the first time. Well I came back because I wasn't any better. I was in severe pain. I asked could this possibly be my kidney? Since this was a different PA she got to the bottom of it and did blood work and urine test which I don't know which urine test. She told me that I may possibly she was concerned and wanted to see me back Weds that there was a possibility of hospitalization and did not explain. Now I have lost my health care and I admit I am not in dire pain anymore. I do feel at this point like I have an infection in the bladder area and am miserable however, what on earth could she be concerned about as she darted out I have had this issue for a long time and assumed it was arthritis so now I am a little concerned and am upset that they have been treating me for back pain and getting no where.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,
I empathise with your feelings.
You are right that some kidney conditions like stones or urinary infection might be the cause of back pain called in medical terminology as 'referred pain'. Such pain characteristically radiates from back to groin along with associated symptoms like burning sensation while passing urine or fever.Further evaluation includes usg, urine tests.
But pain due to vertebral conditions are dull pain often radiating to hip and legs.An mri is needed for evaluation.
After a correct diagnosis on the above mentioned lines the treatment can be started.
I look forward to get some further details of the tests already done.
I find this answer helpful
