Dr. Gerard Honore answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Pyelonephritis: Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is more likely to be experienced in your back near the spine and where the bottom rib is found, also may have fever. If you have a reason to worry about this, go see a doctor now: you can't diagnose this online.
