Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have gone through your query and health concerns in detail ,
What Causes Flank Pain?
Some of the more common causes of flank pain include:
a kidney infection
a kidney abscess
kidney stones
dehydration
arthritis, especially spinal arthritis
a spinal fracture
disc disease
a pinched nerve in the back
a muscle spasm.
The pain is likely due to a kidney problem if you also have the following symptoms:
a rash
a fever
dizziness
nausea
vomiting
constipation
diarrhea
blood in the urine
pain during urination
Proper diagnose of flank made by- the location of the pain
when the pain began
what the pain feels like
how often you experience the pain
how long you experience the pain
what other symptoms you have
Blood tests and imaging tests to determine the cause of your flank pain. Imaging tests, such as ultrasounds or X-rays, allow your doctor to look deep within your body. They can reveal problems in the organs, tissues, and muscles.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
