What Causes Recurring Right Sided Lower Back Pain?

I am having pain on right side back area above my buttock, stabbing pain at times and painful upon raising from seated position. I have diabetes also, could this possibly be a kidney infection? I do not drink carbonated drinks often, and drink plenty of water

Hello,
There are so many causes of back pain including kidney infection but we will have to rule out the cause of pain whether there is disc arthritis,spinal infection,spine injury as muscle strain or sprain,kidney infection,calculus or kidney stone,spine nerve compression etc?
if you suspect there is pain due to kidney infection or stone then you must be confirm that you are doing proper urination,no burning micturition,excessive urination or pain radiation from front to back.because you are a diabetic patient so must be the rule out exact cause of pain.
but it seems to me spinal arthritis of L4 L5 region thats why are having pain after standing from sitting.but it is also possibilities of other causes of pain.anyways consult the ortho and get some test like x ray of spine or MRI.
I find this answer helpful
