A member asked:
Left lower back pain after sitting in chair for a few hours last night. got worse when i stretched in bed and has been aching ever since. the pain is mild. is this kidney related?

Probably not. The kidney is a little higher up, closer to the lower part of the rib cage. Chances are, you were either sitting in a draft or pulled a muscle when you rose up after sitting.

Sounds consistent with mild lumbosacral strain, but cannot readily exclude discogenic or facetogenic contributions. Does not sound like kidney stone at this point. Notify your doctor and get local advice, but likely this should resolve over a few days.
