Current medical status: Headache, dizziness, nausea, lower back pain, and lower stomach pain, the pain is like a burning sensation and very painful.
Referring to the symptoms you reported you might be experiencing an inflammation of the kidneys called glomerulonephritis. Signs and symptoms include pain in the lower back close to the kidneys, dizziness and fever. Glomerulonephritis easily appears if a renal calculus is present damaging the renal tissue. An infection from the bladder can then more easily spread to the kidneys. You might want to visit your doctor for an X-ray of the kidneys as well as a urine culture to determine the exact bacteria that causes the inflammation.
