Lower Back Pain - Kidney Stones?08/26/2010 |
I love eating salty food, but now I think it`s taking a toll on me. Lately I`ve been having lower back pain and urinating a lot. I`m afraid this is a sign of kidney stones. Am I right?
While back or flank pain may be related to kidney stones, there are many other causes. Frequent urination can be related to excess salt, but also of concern is high blood sugars (diabetes). Please seek medical evaluation.
