Could Pain In Back Around Left Side Of Body And Pressure Be Due To Kidney Infection Or Stones?

I have pain in my back on the left side of my body across little below my rib cage going around to the front. I got hot up my back up into my neck and on the front too, then I chilled. My urine is ok but I am starting to feel pressure down below. After I pee the pain gets a little better. Could this be a kidney infection or stones?

hi,
your symptoms match a kidney or a ureteric stone. you need a plain x ray of KUB or an ultrasound abdomen for proper diagnosis. meanwhile, take some pain drugs like diclofenac and plenty of water and juices. Hope this helped.
