Above my hip, lower back, to the left of my spine, I have pain that radiates as burning sensations. The pain has been for three days off and on, mostly on, enough to wake me while sleeping. I have no symptoms of a kidney infection as outlined by this web sight I am female, 61yrs. Being in the hot tub with warm water does not relieve this pain. By the way, I do drink quite a bit of water. Any suggestions?
