I am having pain around my waist in the back area only. Not front. I am a diabetic and have had a kidney infection before that I did not know about and it spread to my L5-S1 and I had to take 6 weeks of IV antibiotics. That was 7 months ago though. I just started with this pain. Never had it before. Pain 7 on a scale of 1 to 10. Sed rate is 52. CRP 1.4. Could this be related to my previous kidney infection? Have never had this pain before.
Hello, I have studied your case. Yes this can be due to kidney infection. Usually nerve compression can't be seen on x-ray you may need MRI for this. I will advise you to do MRI instill time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and inferential therapy will give quick relief. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
