Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My mom was complaining of pain in her lower back, right side and not long after that she pooped a lot blood, twice in a day. The pain is still there, not sharp, but the blood has stopped. Should we go to the ER? Is is just hemorrhoids? Thanks for you help.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement, Dr. Saurabh Gupta's Response
Hello, Thanks for your query.
The pain in her lower back, right side could be due to a renal infection or a stone if the pain does not seem to be muscular in nature. This can be ruled out after getting an ultrasound scan done. It could be due to hemorrhoids. If the pain is aggravated with deep breathing or coughing then a rib injury or a muscular sprain is likely.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
