I ve been having lower back pain recently, right above my hip on my right side. This is also the side where I have horseshoe kidneys. I was wondering if I should go see my doctor, or if it could be something serious.

Hello,
Thanks for your query
I would like to know whether your back pain is dull or severe, constant or intermittent.
If you had such pain before i would advise you to get an ultrasound scan done and meet your local urologist.
Horseshoe kidneys may occasionally have some obstruction or stones and these are usually detected on ultrasound.
I hope i have answered your query.
I will be happy to answer any follow-up queries that you may have.
Thanks
