What are the symptoms of a lower back lumbar infection? how would you know if your pain is from an infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: Infection is an extremely rare cause of back pain and usually presents with fever and severe unrelenting pain. If your MRI did not show findings suggesting infection, then that is enough.
