2. An infected kidney is infectious to cause the infection spread around the local muscles, meanwhile, the nearby nerves can get irritated. This will result in groin pain or swelling and leg pains.
3. Diabetic nephropathy may get leg and back problem due to diabetic.
4. Nephrotic syndrome patients with long-term hormone therapy may feel leg pain sometimes.
