What Causes Constant Pain In The Lower Left Back?
Thanks. I have had pain on my left side just below my waist in the hip area for about a week. It hurts constantly and especially if I try to straighten up or reach up for things. Just wondering if it could be a kidney infection. I recently had a ct scan with contrast.

Answer: Hello,
Thank you for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
I think you may have spasm of hip muscles so take analgesics with muscle relaxant tablet .zerodol th 8 mg for 5 days twice daily
if pain still persists get ultrasound abdomen to rule out kidney involvement and x ray of left hip and lumbar spine if pain still seen after 1 month get mri left hip joint to rule out left hip involvement
