Side/Back Pain - Best Yahoo Answer

Side/back pain?
I have been having an achy pain on my left side/back & it's not all over,
it's just in a strip starting under my ribs extending down to my hip.

Also, both hips have been achy on outside of my pelvic area, although it's not in the joint.

Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

You probably have an overstretched back muscle which can extend obliquely down to the top of the pelvic bone.

Aches on both hips may due to the muscular pain.

If you have a severe pain starting from the upper back (lower ribs) which goes down to your pelvis and have urinary difficulty, it may be caused by a stone blocking the tube leading from the kidney to the bladder.

Sometimes if there are blisters appearing on the back down the side, it could be shingles.

In your case, most likely it is muscular pain.
