Kidney infection or just back pain ?

I've had a bad back for the last week , I assumed it was a pulled muscle and strained lower back as I've had this many times, but the pain does not seem to be improving

I have pain all across my lower back (worse when sitting) I also have pain behind my ribs in my back, and lower pelvic pain. I feel nauseous but not sure if that's down to the naproxen I'm taking

I don't have any pain during urination , but from what I remember when I had a kidney infection years ago I also didn't have pain then.

I think I will ring doctors tomorrow if no improvement, but not sure if I'm just over thinking and I don't want to waste doctors time!

Could be appendicitis, that’s how mine started. Seriously recommend GP or A&E today. I left mine and ended up with peritonitis and sepsis, two weeks in hospital. Not to worry you, but if I could go back and not stress that I was bothering the GP I’d do it in a flash.
