Answer by April_Dawn
The kidneys are too the side of the lower back... Lower back pain would, therefore be more centralized...

Kidney pain is mostly accompanied by pain in urination, fever, burning sensation and lower back pain. while an ordinary lower back pain is can be gone in just three or five days. Drinking lots of water will help in cleansing the toxins from the body. To alleviate the lower back pain you may also use a posture brace corrector which gives support to the spine and lower back muscle.

It can be tough to tell the difference between a muscle strain in the back and the pain that is caused by a kidney infection. Pain from a kidney infection is located on the lower back on either side of the spine above the hips. When it's a kidney infection then there will be tenderness in the lower back on either side of the spine.
And you should remember that kidney pain and back pain can have very similar symptoms but completely different causes. The pain you feel in your back can actually be cause by a kidney infection, but the tricky part is that a person could have similar or the same symptoms however it be from a back problem.
The symptom of a kidney infection causing kidney back pain is usually presented as an ache and not necessarily a "pain". If your pain in your lower back is sharp pain than it is likely not your kidneys but your back.
And in addition you may have fever, and issues with your urine, such as blood in urine, pain while urinating, feel "pressure",increasing frequency, etc.
So, better review the possible symptoms and identity if you have any and if you are experiencing, visit doctor will be a must.
