Could Pain In Left Side Of Back Near Kidneys Be Due To A Pulled Muscle?
I have pain in my left side on my back near the kidneys. It is extreme pain when I sneeze, so bad that I almost fall on the floor if I am standing up and moderate to severe pain when I cough or turn in bed, but it does not hurt when I press on it. There is no fever, no high blood perssure. Could it be a pulled muscle or should I go to a clinic to see a doctor?
