What Causes Pain In The Lower Back Around The Kidney Areas?

I am a 49 y.o. overweight male. I have had low back pain in the past and understand the physiology of the symptoms and the condition. Recently out of nowhere I have been experiencing low back pain, with pain located across where my kidneys are. This pain is more internal, and feels very unlike skeletal pain. It usually occurs around 4:00 every afternoon and continues until I go to bed. In the morning it doesn t bother me again, until about 4:00.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The way you have described , the pain appears to be due to skeletal reasons only. Kidney pain does not normally appear in the described pattern. It could be a discogenic pain , appearing due to mild disc prolapse with spinal canal stenosis. I would suggest you get MEI of Lumbar spine. In the meantime painkillers and muscle relaxants would help.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
