What Causes Black Stools And Pain In Kidney Area?
Hello, this last week I have been feeling a pain in the lower right of my back internally which I believe could be my kidney. Around the same time my stools have started being black every time. The pain in my back has been getting worse everyday (as in the first few days I only felt it waking up but now I can barely move and it hurts). I am not sure if the two are connected but I just thought that they could possibly be connected and am making a doctors appointment tomorrow just to be safe. Do you know what could possibly be wrong so I can ask my doctor in my appointment?

I think both your symptoms are unrelated
most common causes are
gastrointestinal bleeding
peptic ulcers
kidney stones
hydronephrosis
ulcerative colitis
dietary changes
uti
irritable boweyou have to do both endoscopy and ultrasound abdomen to rule out the cause.
