What Causes Flank Pain?
I have had right flank pain for over a year now. I have ruled out kidneys and ovaries, but the pain is pretty much consistent and comes like contractions. I use a heating pad just to ease the pain, not really easing just more manageable at times. What other areas should i consider looking for relief and answers to this pain?
