I have left sided lower back pain that won't go away. When I lay on it, I get some relief. Bit it wakes me up and hurts badly. In 2002 I had a gastric bypass. Blood tests show normal for my kidneys. What should I do?

Hello Anonymous,

Welcome to EmpowHER. Thank you for reaching out to our community, but you really need to be evaluated by your primary care physician.

Have you had a recent injury or strained your lower back that may be the cause of the pain?

Keep us updated,
