A member asked:

Is pain in leg connected to kidney infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: They are not likely to be directly related, but are separate problems. An exception would be an infection that spread to the low back (spine) and irritates the nerves to the legs.

Dr Michalski and another doctor agreed
