The pain in my lower right back has been getting worse over the last 3-4 months. Its just below my ribs on my back on the right side. The metalic taste started yesterday. I do have elevated uric acid occasionally.
Brief Answer:
back pain need to be investigated
Detailed Answer:
The pain is most likely from the spine and need to get Xrays of the spine. Please consult a spine specialist to get a thorough exam. Most likely may be age related changes in spine causing the pain.
Are you taking any medicines which may cause metallic state. I think it will go away. Try some vitamin supplements as well. Thanks.

Its not my spine because its not near my spine. The pain is in the area of my kidney on the right side.
Brief Answer:
please get a thorough exam form the physician
Detailed Answer:
I would suggest to consult a physician to pinpoint the problem. If its more on the side then ultrasound of the tummy will help. Either kidney or liver related issues can cause such pains.
Also spinal pain could be on either side of the spine due to para spinal muscle spasm and does not necessary to be midline only. Thanks.
