So, let’s get started.
When you are having pain in your back, you may not automatically know what it is causing
it.
It can be very difficult to recognize the differences between pain originating in your
back and pain coming from your kidneys.
If you want to distinguish between kidney and back pain you need to concentrate on identifying
exactly where the pain is located, how constant it is, and whether there are any other symptoms
you are experiencing.
If you can identify the details, you should be able to distinguish between kidney and
back pain.
1.
Identify widespread pain across the lower back and the buttocks.
If you are having pain across these areas, it is most likely caused by an injury to the
back muscles, not the kidneys.
These are common areas of back pain and it is more common for back pain to spread across
this whole region than for kidney pain to spread in this way.
An injury to the back muscles can impact the function and pain levels in a variety of muscles
down the backside of the body, including the gluteus muscles.
2.
Feel for pain specifically between the ribs and hips.
Kidney pain is most often located on the side of the back in the area called the flank.
This is the area at the back of the body where the kidneys are located.
Pain in other areas of the back, such as the upper back, is not caused by the kidneys.
3.
Identify abdominal pain.
If the pain in your lower back is accompanied by pain in your abdomen, then it is more likely
that your pain is related to your kidneys.
Enlarged or infected kidneys can cause inflammation towards the front of the body in addition
to the back.
If you only have abdominal pain with no back pain, that is not likely to be related to
the kidneys.
4.
Assess whether the pain is constant.
In many cases, kidney pain is constant.
It may decrease or increase a bit throughout the day, but it never goes away completely.
On the other hand, back pain will often go away completely and then come back later.
Most causes of kidney pain, including urinary tract infections and kidney stones, will not
stop hurting on their own without treatment.
The back muscles, on the other hand, can heal themselves and the pain can go away.
5.
Feel for pain on only one side of your lower back.
If you are having pain on just one side of your flank, then it is likely that it is caused
by your kidney.
The kidneys are located right along the flank and a kidney stone may only cause pain in
one of your kidneys.
6.
Think about likely causes of back pain.
One way to distinguish between back and kidney pain is to think about whether you have done
anything recently that is likely to cause back pain.
If you have done a lot of heavy lifting or have bent over for a long period of time,
your pain is more likely to be back pain than kidney pain.
If you stood or sat for an unusually long time recently that could cause back pain.
Also, if you have an existing injury to your back it is likely that new pain is related
to that previous injury.
7.
Pay attention to problems with urination.
Because the kidneys are an integral part of the urinary tract, infections and other problems
with the kidneys often show up during urination.
Look for blood in your urine and pay attention to increases in pain when you urinate.
You may also feel an intense need to urinate when you are having kidney problems, such
as kidney stones.
