Thank you I have rather pain I would say just above my left hip towards the middle of my back. It started with what I thought was a pulled muscle. I have had more than several IT I'd in the past several years I also have severe lower back pain due to failed back surgery it hurts on my left side very much. I am on cholesterol lowering meds and a pain med until my corrective back surgeries 2/16. My far left abdomen is a bit painful too. I am not overweight and I am 59 yrs old and a female. Do you think this maybe a kidney infection considering the little you know about me? Thanks so much! Laurie.
