Taking Codeine Phos And Panadol For Lower Back Pain. Kidney Infection?
I bent over one week ago and hurt my back, my doctor gave me Codeine Phos and panadol for the pain. All was going well until yesterday when I bent again and got a pain in my lower back and buttocks, could this maybe a kidney infection ? I don't seem to have any other symptoms, can't sit or leep without pain and discomfort.
Thankyou Pauline

Hello,It doesn't look like kidney infection because...
You don't have any kidney symptoms like UTI.
You got the pain while bending
You have a history of hurting your back a week back
Kidney pain is unaffected by the position of your body.
In my opinion,you take rest,avoid lifting weight,do hot fonentation and take anti inflammatory like ibuprofen 400 mg for 5-7 days.
In case you don't improve or pain gets worsened,you consult an orthopedician for examination,investigations if required and proper management.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
From description it seems that you had developed lumbar strain.The symptoms you presented not points toward kidney infection.
Give rest to the injured part and do not involve in activities which puts additional strain on the injured tissues. Avoid lifting heavy weights and forward bending activities. Use a lumbosacral back support.
Applying muscle relaxant gel and taking antiinflammatory drug will be helpful.
Hope this will helps you. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.
Regards.
