Lower Back Pain. History Of Herniating Discs. Is It Related To Kidney Or Liver?

I have had mild and at times, severe lower back pain . I injured my back at age 30, herniating discs and thru doctors found that arthritus set in 12 years ago. Usually I have episodes when it will incapacitate me for 2-3 days. Now I have severe pain and aching in my lower back just below my waste that had gotten severe for a week or two but it has not truly subsided for a month now. I am worried maybe it is related to kidney or liver . I do not have medical insurance and I cannot afford to see a doctor, Please advise.

Hi,
It seems you had previos history of trauma and lumbosacral disc.Present low backache is related to same lumbosacral disc.you need to consult your neurologist for same and get evaluated including MRI spine.It is unlikely to be liver because liver symptoms involve R) upper abdomen.unlikely to be kidney , as such patients have more of loin pain and urinary symptoms.

Hi
Welcome to HCM.
This is typical musculo-skeletal problem and it not related to the kidney or the liver.
