Is my back pain a kidney infection?
23/11/2018
When back pain comes from a kidney infection it typically starts from over the kidney region, just above your waist and may radiate to the groin. The pain can be deep and may come and go.
You may also have a temperature, blood in your urine and feel sick or generally unwell.
A key indicator is that the back pain is unaffected by movement of your lower back – it remains the same no matter how you move or sit.
If you are concerned you may have a kidney infection you should make an appointment at your GP practice.
