Lower left back pain by kidney . diognosed as a pulled muscle month ago still hurts. sharp pain with deep breath?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Follow up with MD: Since you have been treated by your doctor and diagnosed as pulled muscle and you still have pain it needs to be re evaluated by your doctor and you may need some tests to find the cause of persistant pain in left back.
