What Causes Pain Around Kidney Area?
Pain around kidney area
my kidney area and my shoulder have been sore for 4-5 days. It has been Sharp pain; taking deep breaths make the Sharp pain also. It started with a stomach pain, after eating a gas station sandwich; then the next day I swung some golf clubs, which I haven't done in years which resulted with my pain the following next day.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
It is most likely associated with muscle spasms due to golf clubbing after a long time. You may allow yourself enough rest if it is an acute pain and apply ointments containing pain killers and muscle relaxants. There might also be herniated discs causing your pain due to pressure on nerve roots. You may try light stretching exercises once your pain decreases and always warm up before going on long golf sessions.
