I was prescribed Terbinafine for toenail fungus. Shortly after starting I fell and had back pain. I assumed it was from the fall. However, by day 34 I was experiencing right kidney pain. It has been 10 months and I m still having kidney pain. Is this common? Have I permanently injured my kidney?
Hi, Thanks for writing in. It is unlikely to feel a kidney pain for 10 months after a fall. The kidney is a well protected organ located in the retroperitoneal region at the level of Horace lumbar vertebrae T 12 to L 3. They have a capsule and surrounded by perianal fat to protect from mild injury. It is best to get an ultrasound scan of abdomen to know if there is any pathological condition in or around the region of pain. Such a pain for 10 months is uncommon. If required an X-ray can also be done to see for any bone deformities due to the fall.
