How i tell the difference between kidney and back pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Kidney + Other: Flank pain may be due to the kidney, a stone being the major concern. The differential diagnosis is wide: the presence of fever (pyelonephritis), tenderness (muscle source), rash (zoster), or abdominal symptoms/findings make an assessment by your primary care physician, essential.
