Is The Kidney The Source Of Mild Flank Pain And Cause For Frequent Urination?
I've been having mild left flank pain for about a week now and today had to urinate so badly I used a plastic bottle in my car. I've never had to do that before. The pain is mild, fairly dull, and I chalked it up to a pulled muscle, but today's urination issue made me wonder if my left kidney might be the source of the pain. Any suggestions?
