Kidney Issues
Another relatively unknown cause of middle back pain is any issues affecting the kidneys due to their placement in the body. Their location just underneath the ribcage at the posterior side at the body means any issues with kidneys will likely lead to radiating pain from the middle back area. Perhaps one of the most common causes of kidney issues is the presence of kidney stones, which can cause all manner of symptoms. These symptoms include middle back pain, fever, pain when urinating, chills, and more. Fortunately, such a kidney issue can be relatively simple to treat, though those who have large kidney stones may need more invasive forms of treatment. Kidney infections aren’t too challenging to diagnose as it usually has to do with pain when urinating.
While not many people know that kidney issues can cause back pain, it is a relatively common symptom due to the placement of the kidneys. A kidney infection isn’t to be taken lightly, so it’s a good idea to maintain a healthy lifestyle to avoid issues with the kidneys altogether.
