Kidney pain vs. Back pain because your kidneys are located toward your back and= underneath your ribcage, it may be hard to tell if the pain you?re experiencing in that area is coming from your back or your kidney. The symptoms you?re having can help you figure out which is the source of the pain. The location, type, and severity of the pain are some of the things that will be different depending on whether the pain is from a problem in your kidneys or your back.

If the pain is coming from your kidney, it will have these features: where the pain is located kidney pain is felt in your flank, which is the area on either side of your spine between the bottom of your ribcage and your hips. It usually occurs in one side of your body, but it can occur in both sides. Type of pain kidney pain is usually sharp if you have a kidney stone and a dull ache if you have an infection. Most often it will be constant. It won?t get worse with movement or go away by itself without treatment. If you?re passing a kidney stone, the pain may fluctuate as the stone moves. Radiation of the pain sometimes the pain spreads (radiates) to your inner thigh or lower abdomen. Severity of the pain kidney pain is classified according to how bad it is ? severe or mild. A kidney stone usually causes severe pain, and the pain from an infection is usually mild.

Type of pain muscle pain feels like a dull ache. If a nerve has been injured or irritated, the pain is a sharp burning sensation that may travel down your buttock to your lower leg or even your foot. Muscle pain may affect one or both sides, but nerve pain usually only affects one side. Radiation of the pain nerve pain may spread to your lower leg. Pain from a muscle usually stays in the back. Severity of the pain back pain is described as acute or chronic based on how long you?ve had it. Acute pain lasts days to weeks, subacute pain lasts six weeks to three months, and chronic pain lasts longer than three months.
