Could The Shooting Pain In Left Back Be Related To Kidneys?

I have had a feeling under my left breast for a few months. The doctor thinks it is a muscular condition. She said if it gets worse to come back. It got worse last week and now last night I had some shooting pain in my left back. Could it be my kidneys?

Hello
Thanks for query .
Shooting pain in left side of back (Loin) is mostly due to presence of stone either in kidney or Ureter .

Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis.

In the mean while start taking antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin with antispasmodics like Cyclopam twice daily .

Ensure to drink more water to keep your urine dilute .

Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.
