BACK & NECK COMMUNITY
What else could it be

What else could it be

I've had several bulging discs (causing pain in my right hip, leg and foot) for years so when my back started hurting this time it was nothing new.  However, all the pain this time is on my left side.  I had a new MRI done which shows no conclusive reason for my significant left side pain.

My question is, what else could it be?  I have considered kidney stones as my kidneys have also been an issue for me in the past.  The technician who did my MRI said that it would not show any kidney stones because it was a lumbar MRI.  My treating physician assures me that if it were kidney stones then that would show up on the MRI and there is no need for further test.  That would be great except for the constant and excruciating pain that I am in.  I have to work anyway, but this pain limits any "play" time that I have for myself or with my 8 & 6 year old daughters.

Anyone have any ideas?
