What Causes Lower Left Sided Back Pain?

My lower left side of my back is sore to touch just above my left buttock. It has been four days now and heat and cold packs are not working. The pain is very centralized and when touched the skin feels very sensitive, like the pain is associated with the skin yet there are no marks on the skin.

Hi,
It might be required you see your doctor then. It is imperative to exclude a surgical condition like appendictis, sigmoiditis or a pelvic inflammatory disease. A proper clinical review , blood tests and an ultrasound are needed. It might require that your consult and get a surgical condition excluded first. See an emergency room doctor. Kind regards
