What Causes Right-sided Back Pain With Shortness Of Breath?
I have pain ranging from my mid back on the right, down to my hip, groin down my leg. I am also experiencing shortness of breath. This has been ongoing for around 8 weeks with no obvious injury or strain. It has come out of nowhere. Any ideas what it could be?

Hi
Hope this message finds you in good health.
The pain that you have been experiencing might be due to a compressed nerve root in the back,most probably due to a prolapse of intervertebral disc.
Sciatica needs to be ruled out. An MRI of the back region would confirm the diagnosis.
Shortness of breath can be due to anxiety and a chest Xray needs to be done.
Consult a physician
Hope your query has been answered
Nothing to worry about, You should eventually get back to normal.
Best Regards
