What cause sudden pain in the kidney area?
Patient: Hi,I am an athletic and healthy 57 year old male. Rather suddenly I am experiencing debilitating pain in my right kidney area (lower back, right side).  I have been hiking a few days before, no lifting.  I almost cannot walk right now with shooting pain.  Any thoughts?Thank you,JP Doctor: Dear JP,Thank you for your question on HCM.considering the fcat that you are an athlete and that you have been hiking from a few days,i would like to consider that you may have a pulled muscle.Take Tab.myoril plus twice a day for two days (after food) and apply a hot compress for relief.you can apply brufen gel for pain relief.hope this information was helpful.regards,Dr.Radhika
