A member asked:
Sudden pain in the lower back - caused by muscle pain or kidney pain. how to distinguish them and how urgent it is to treat the kidney pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most important..: The most important thing is a urinalysis. With pyelonephritis you would have a fever almost always. With a kidney stone, usually microscopic or macroscopic blood in urine. If your pain last more than a day, see your pcp asap. You c an take over the counter alleve.
