I have a pain in my lower back (left
side). At 1st I thought it was a muscle
issue, but it has persisted and gotten
worse over the last week. It is not a
severe or sharp pain, but it is
consistent. Currently all I have done is
tried soaking.

This pain might originate from the
kidneys, the lumbar vertebra or from
muscles. A blood/urine analyses (standard,
urea, creatinin, acidum uricum), an X-ray
of the lumbar vertebrae, and an ultrasound
of the inner abdominal organs will help a
medical professional diagnose your
case.
