Localized pain in lower left back
by iristhevirus, Mar 21, 2008 09:50PM
I have had chronic back pain for several years throughout my spina after a failed spinal fusion and a second successful spinal fusion for scoliosis. This pain is much different in that it is localized to one specific area - the sacroiliac area on the left side of my back. There is no abdominal pain. I'm concerned it could be a symptom of a kidney infection or a pinched nerve. It is difficult for me to walk and it continues to get worse.

I suspect a pinched nerve. Have you got the MRI of the lower back (lumbar spine) done? It shows any nerve compression.
An EMG (electromyography) may help.
