Could Sharp Pain In Back Be Related To Kidney Ailments?

Have had sharp pains in back and wondering if it might be kidney related. Taking Myrbetriq for about 5 weeks for incontinence. Having an MRI tomorrow for pelvis/rt. hip area. Would this MRI cover kidney area? Not sure exactly where kidneys are located. Had ex-rays a few days ago for lower back - I was told it was unremarkable.

Thank you for asking Healthcare majic.

My name is Dr Ehsan Ullah &
I have gone through your query.

Sharp and colickly pain especially in the lumbar region(pain between just above hip joints and lower border of ribs on back side of body) suggests kidney or its related parts problem.
i would suggest just to get simple ultrasound abdomen and pelvis along with Urine routine examination so that you will get satisfy either its kidney related pain or something else.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
