<human>: Thanks. I have had pain on my left side just below my waist in the hip area for about a week. It hurts constantly and especially if I try to straighten up or reach up for things. Just wondering if it could be a kidney infection. I recently had a ct scan with contrast.
<bot>: Answer: Hello, Thank you for using Chat Doctor. I read your question and understood your concern. I think you may have spasm of hip muscles so take analgesics with muscle relaxant tablet.aerosol TH 8 mg for 5 days twice daily if pain still persists get ultrasound abdomen to rule out kidney involvement and x-ray of left hip and lumbar spine if pain still seen after 1 month get MRI left hip joint to rule out left hip involvement
