Doctor: Hi,The symptoms you have explained aren't from the kidney problems, though they may be from the rheumatoid arthritis of the spine. But it rarely involves the lumbar spine which is the lower back region. I would suggest that you discuss it with your rheumatologist and get a MRI scan of lumbar spine done to confirm its cause. It can also be due to a pinched nerve due to a protruded disc.
