What Causes Back Pain And Kidney Pain?

Day three. I have a nagging pain in my side/back. It started on the right side but now it s my left? I feel like someone punched me in the kidneys. I m sure it s not muscle strain. I have no pain or urine problems. I can t move because it will hurt. It does not hurt to breath but it does hurt me to take a deep breath. Any ideas? Thank you

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have back pain and kidney pain . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like pancreatitis , diverticulitis , GERD , appendicitis , kidney stone or kidney infection . I would suggest you to consult general practitioner for proper examination . Doctor will take history , order CT scan , ultrasound , kidney and liver function test . Doctor may refer you to gastroenterologist in case of gastric problem or nephrologist in case of kidney problem . For now take proper rest and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
