And more commonly, an aching lower back is a symptom of kidney stones. But this is not the case always. A person experiencing this condition still needs to go through several tests and consider many factors before he gets to be diagnosed with kidney stones.

It’s really hard to tell unless you go to a doctor. The kidneys are found toward your back and underneath your ribcage.

But below are some indications that back pain could be a sign of this serious medical condition:

  • It’s not kidney stone if the pain is in the middle back or shoulders.
  • A normal backache aches constantly. Kidney stone might cause pain in different intensity because it is making its way through the urinary tract.
  • A backache gets relieved momentarily when making some movements while in kidney stones, it does not go away and sometimes, making some movements are just making it worse.
  • Kidney stones are as painful as giving birth to a child.
  • Backache doesn’t cause discoloration in your urine, kidney stones does. The urine appears pink, red or brown in color. Also, there’s pain when you urinate and causes you to pass urine more frequently.
  • Your urine has a foul smell.
  • The back pain is accompanied with fever and chills as per Keck Medicine blog.
