Does Cyst In Kidney Cause Ruptured Disc?

My doctor recommended an MRI because I have had severe hip pain. I received the results from my doctor today and results showed I have a ruptured disc. What is bothersome is that the MRI also showed a cortical cyst on the left pole of the kidney. When I fisrt start having hip pain, through a urinalysis, it was determined that I had a UTI. Is it possible that my disc problem could have been brought on by whatever is going on with the kidney.

Dear friend,
You having a lumber disc problem along with accidental finding of left upper pole renal cyst. Renal cortical cyst is normal part of structural changes of kidney with ageing, and it might since birth. As in report, if cyst is single then it would not be troublesome. You don't mentioned a cyst size. Small cyst generally does't creating any problems. And if it creates any problem then also pain will not referred to hip bone. So, your hip pain surly due to disc problem and not related to kidney cyst. Urinary infection may be due to other cause.
