What Could Pain In Torso With Bruises And Abdomen Pain Suggest?

I had systitis last week and ever since then I have had a dull ache in my torso, mainly in my back( left kidney area) which feels like it is bruised and all up along the left side of my rib cage. I also have experienced a sharp pain in the front of my abdomen which I thought mayb appendicitis but that has subsided. Any ideas what this could be?i have healthy lifestyle and diet and never get sick.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Cystitis is an infection of the urinary bladder and spread practically to all the urinary system including the kidneys.
The infection of the kidney called Pyelonephritis can cause the symptoms of pain in the back, like bruise feeling sharp pain in front of your abdomen.

I would advise you the following:
Urine culture and sensitivity and routine examinations.
Blood - CBC, sugar, urea and creatinine.
Ultrasonography to start with.

Once the diagnosis is made a proper treatment can be started and continued as per the reports of the cases.
I find this answer helpful
