A member asked:

I keep having this pain on my left side of my back it really hurts what could be causing it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Several options: Back pain is usually related to arthritic changes to the spine. Sometime back pain can be related to infections, cancer, fractures, or even other organs such as the kidney, bladder, etc. If your pain lasts greater than 2 weeks i would see your physician.
