A member asked:
I have been experiencing pain in my sides and a sore back for 6 months now. no fever or nausea though. would this be muscular and not kidney?

Kidney Location: The kidneys sit a lot higher than most people realize. If you were to place your finger in the pit of the stomach and draw a line around to your back, that is the location of the kidneys in most people. If that is not where your pain is, then it is unlikely a kidney issue is causing your pain.
