Suggest Treatment For Right-sided Sharp Pain In Back

Hi, There are many potential causes of sharp pain in the back, so it is difficult to determine the exact cause without a proper medical evaluation. However, some possible causes of right-sided back pain include: - Kidney stones: Sharp pain in the back on one side could be due to a kidney stone that has lodged in the ureter. Other symptoms may include pain during urination, blood in urine, and nausea or vomiting. - Muscle strain: If the pain is related to physical activity or a sudden movement, it could be due to a muscle strain or sprain. This type of pain can often be managed with rest, ice, and over-the-counter pain relievers. - Herniated disc: A herniated disc can cause pain in the back that radiates down the leg. Other symptoms may include tingling or numbness in the leg. - Osteoarthritis: This condition can cause pain and stiffness in the back, particularly in the lower back. Other symptoms may include a limited range of motion and muscle weakness. - Spinal stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal can cause pressure on the nerves and lead to back pain. Other symptoms may include numbness or weakness in the legs. If you are experiencing sharp pain in your back on the right side, it is recommended that you see a doctor for a proper evaluation. They may recommend further testing or imaging to determine the cause of the pain. In terms of Advil PM, it is possible that long-term use could have caused gastrointestinal or kidney problems, which could be contributing to the pain. It is important to discuss any medication use with your doctor. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
