How Can Left-sided Back Pain, Which Worsens While Sitting And Standing, Be Cured?
i have pain on the left side of my back. a couple inches under where my shoulder blade ends. more towards the left side then the middle of the left side of my back. i woke up with it like this yesterday so its been about a day. i have had kidney stones before and this pain feels higher up on my back than where kidney stones usually hurt. sttanding and sitting make it hurt more. laying down helps the most. please advise.

i suggest a complete blood count and an ultrasound to rule out kidney stones as the recurrence of kidney stones higher up could be the reason for this.
also if you are runnning a fever it might be acute pyelonephritis and a blood count would give a better idea of what it is
meanwhile have a lot of fluids and ibuprofen 800mg for the pain
