A member asked:

What is causing intermittent pain in lower left back?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Difficult to say: Pain in the low back on either side could be due to a variety of things from muscles, joints nerves and problems with your internal organs such as your kidneys. It is worth getting evaluated to make sure it is nothing serious.
