What Causes Pain On The Right Side Of The Body And Lower Back While Treating Kidney Stone?

I am experiencing pain on my right side only in my lower back area for three days now. Don t know that I lifted anything to cause a strain. I had a kidney stone for the first time about 4 months ago in which onset of pain was quick and I was in the hospital within an hour. Has a .5 stone that I passed. This pain is t as intense but sitting up hurts and sleeping is painful to move from side to side. No fever. Is this maybe a smaller stone?

The pain you are experiencing in your lower back could be due to a small stone that is passing out. However this pain would be constant, severe and not related to any body movement or position. If the pain is only when you move, and in certain positions, it could be in all probability a low back muscle strain on the right side. The diagnosis can be made if you could please get an abdominal ultrasound examination, which can find out if it is a stone or not.
