Pain on middle, left side of back
by Suda, Nov 03, 2009 12:19PM
Dear Group,
Hello! I have been having the most severe pain in the left side, middle section of my back. I believe that this is the area where our kidneys reside. I've had a low-grade fever off and on, but nothing very high.
Therefore, I was wondering, could this be a kidney problem? I've heard and read that if you have kidney problems you almost never have any symptoms until it it something horrendous.
I have lupus, severe ostheoporosis, and fibromyalgia, so maybe this newest symptom is just another of my laundry list of symptoms.
Sorry for the long post. If anyone has any information about this, personal or professional I would greatly appreciate any help I can get. You know I don't want to bother any of my physicians about this just in case it is nothing.
Thank you for getting eye strain reading this and I thank you in advance if you send me any information.
Sincerely,
Suda

I've not been on here in quite a long time, and maybe you don't have a clue as to what to say about my question. But, I would appreciate some response. Oh, say, like, "Lady we don't have a clue!" Or maybe "You're in the wrong area to ask such a question."
If I am in the wrong area, I do apologize, but I have tried looking this up on quite a few sites and found nothing.
Please, would someone simply respond?
Thank you.

Severe low back pain should never be ignored. You should see your PCP. You could have a kidney/bladder infection. You may have a kidney stone or you could have strained some muscles. It could be related to one of you diagnosis. It is difficult to guess as there are so many possibilities.
Are you having more frequency or burning with urination? Is your urine a light amber and clear? Is you have none of these symptoms it may not be a urinary track infection but it still requires a visit to your PCP.
Good luck to you. I hope you will let us know how you are doing.
Peace,
