How do you tell the difference between a pulled lower back muscle and a kidney infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Pulled muscle generally causes pain on certain movement. Kidney infection can cause pain and is usually on both sides, can be accompanied by a fever, and your doctor can check the urine.
