Dr Mark Drymalski said: “While back pain is very common and usually benign and self-limiting, there are some signs and symptoms which could indicate a more serious medical condition requiring further evaluation and treatment.
“There are several conditions that can cause intense back pain, many of which centre on the bones or discs.
“But you also might be wondering, “How do I know if my back pain is kidney-related? Problems with what other organs can cause lower back pain?”
