Urologist,  's  Response
hello
Thanks for query .Severe low back pain without any positive neurological findings is most likely to be due to presence of stone either in kidney or Ureter.

Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical and digital rectal examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis
3) Serum electrolytes

Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.
