default
Posted on Thu, 23 Jun 2016
Question: So this has been an on going issue. For about 4 1/2months. There is a pain in my middle lower back on the right side Feels internel but very hard to pin point if it is organ or muscle all that i can say is that when i do a back flip it causes extreme pain in that area. At first i was diagnosed with a kidney infection do to some red and white cells found in my urine and was put on antibotics for that. The pain agian was very noticable when doing a back flip Since then i was on one more set of anti biotics for a sinus infection and the pain dissappated while on that. I am consered obviously an would like a best and worst case senario. (IE caner of said organs). Im health 27 dont smoke tobacco other then the occational ciger. However i am a regular drinker a few a night. Please any help would be great. I have no insurance right now so home remedy recommendations would be excellent
