    <title>Kidney Stone Symptoms and Kidney Infection Symptoms May Include Back Pain</title>
    <link>http://www.living-with-back-pain.org/kidney-back-pain.html</link>
    <description>Anytime you are having mid or lower back pain that is on one side or the other you should at least consider that it may be coming from on of your kidneys. Your kidneys are located in your mid-back, on either side of your spine. Any inflammation or swelling of a kidney may cause back pain. 

Pain from a kidney stone may begin as back pain, then migrate around to your flank, abdomen, and groin, as the stone travels through your urinary tract.

Do you have any other symptoms, such as burning with urination, that may be related to your kidneys? 

Do you have a history of kidney stones or kidney infections? Kidney stones may pass, but infections do not go away without treatment, and pain medicine from your doctor can make you more comfortable while you wait for a stone to pass.

Anytime you are having unexplained back pain that lasts more than a few days you need to see your doctor and be evaluated. Early diagnosis and treatment  are the keys to relieving your pain.</description>
