A member asked:

I have been having pain in the lower back area as well as pain on the sides above the hips..moreoever i have been feeling a shortness of breath?

Related?: It's hard to relate these 2 symptoms. A blood borne infection that seeds your pelvis could cause both, but that would be rare and you would be very ill. I suggest you get some testing done to rule out serious illness. The most likely outcome is that you have 2 minor issues.
