Answer 1

Daniella may be suffering from kidney stone disease.

Kidney stones are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside the kidneys and can move to other parts of the urinary track. This causes pain to the lower back, where the kidneys are, and can move down because the stone moved to the bladder. The pain may change if the person moves position, as the stone moves through your urinary tract.
