Q: How can we tell the difference between a muscle strain in the back and the pain that is caused by a kidney infection?
A: Pain stemming from a kidney infection typically is in the area of the back where the kidneys lie, located to the sides of the spine, just above the hips. Kidney related pain often presents as tenderness in this area. Direct injury or trauma to the back, over the area where the kidneys are located, can cause direct injury to the kidneys themselves, and that is why getting struck in this area is commonly referred to as a "kidney punch."
Kidney infection pain usually comes from the organ itself but often appears as back pain. Kidney pain is also quite tricky because it can radiate to many different parts of the body. It is also acute in origin, meaning that it usually has a very rapid onset, and typically does not last any longer than the infection in the kidneys will last. Kidney infection pain goes away with the healing of a kidney infection, or passing of a kidney stone. Back pain from trauma to the back, however, usually does not go away this quickly.

You do remember when I was peeing red. That was from a game of road hockey (getting smoked by a ball) I went to the doc that night.
I am getting spasms in back now, it's not fun.
