Where Do You Feel Kidney Pain In The Back?

Hi I have been having pain on both lower sides of back and also possibly the kidney area. What would be the best tests to see what might be going on with the pain and what type of doctors should I see? I also have been tested with a bit of blood in my urine. Not sure if Kidney issue or back issue(i have bulging discs diagnosed about 13 years ago).

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I think you would need an ultrasound of the abdomen. In view of the blood in urine it is possible that this is a renal calculi. In that case you will need to meet a urologist. I would add that multiple discs can also cause similar symptoms but would not cause blood in the urine. I have tried to make it as simple as possible. Feel free to contact me if you need further clarification.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
