I was in hospital for about 8 days with pneumonia, me last xray showed it was clearing up and i was able to come home but need to go back next week for a check up. However, since I got out of hospital (about 4 days ago) I have a very sharp pain on my lower right hand side which goes to my lower side on my back also, when I laugh, sneeze, cough or even breath too deeply it stabs like hell and hurts. We did an ecogrophy of my kidneys before I left the hospital and they were ok the doctor said it might be a muscle strain but it really hurts even when I try to turn on my side at night to sleep and it doesn't feel as if it's getting better. It's a constant pain and even though I have taken anti inflammatory it does not help. Please advise. Thank you
