What Causes Pain In The Lower Abdomen And Back On The Right Side?

I have been hurting in my lower right side...plus lower back....Started out with blood in the stool...but since I started taking antibiotics that has stopped...I think I have diverticalitis...But don t see much improvement...I have had it before with the same issues...I Have been taking the antibiotics for 2 weeks. Really don t know if I should keep taking the medications for longer or go see a G.I. specialist. Would greatly appreciate any information you have to offer....Anna

Hi,

Sorry to hear of your pain. There are many causes of pain on the right side tummy causes related to liver kidney or gut. If things have not worked for you for 12 days then it's definitely necessarily to be assessed for the cause. Probably an ultrasound and some times a scan may be needed. So I understand it necessary to see your doctor if the pain is still there after 12 days. Antibiotics should have worked in a few days.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
