A member asked:

I'm having back pain and pain on my left side. but i'm not running back and fourth to the bathroom what could this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Back pain: Back pain is not necessarily related to the kidneys. It may be musculoskeletal in nature which can radiate and be either intermittent or constant. Obviously, i would consult with your doctor...But in the meantime you may want to can try some gentle heating pad or bengay patch to the area and see if that helps at all.
