Is this a kidney problem?
Brief Answer:
Spine disc problem.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thank you for the query.
Kidney is usually located mich higher. So such low pain is rather not the kidney pain. For this area much more characteristic is spine disc problem. You may have also pain radiating to the leg. The pain can appear after physical activity.
I suggest you to consult orthopedist with this issue.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
