I have pain in lower back after vomiting, are my kidneys? Should I be concerned? I have had diarrhea and i have been vomiting yesterday evening. My whole body aches, especially the lower area of my back. I wonder if you could simply be the muscles or if could be my kidneys.

In most cases, vomiting and diarrhea are caused by a viral infection. Viral diseases cause rapid release of inflammatory chemicals (cytokines) that cause fever, muscle aches and other symptoms. In addition, the per vomiting can cause overexertion of muscles of the lower back. A prolonged diarrhea and vomiting can lead to dehydration, which estresaría your kidneys, but it is very common for this to cause kidney pain. (By the way, your kidneys are located in the middle of your back, just below the ribs). Do I expect this helps and you feel better!
