What Causes Right Sided Lower Back Pain And Thigh Pain?
I am experiencing lower back pain on my right side. Not bad while sitting or laying down but very painful when I walk. Extreme pain in lower back and right thigh. Don t know if it s a sore muscle or pinched nerve. Taking Ibuprofen 600mg and Diazepam 10 mg tablets every eight hours. Pain still persisting after three or four days. Didn t slip and fall or engage in any heavy lifting recently. This is a first for me. I m age 60 and in good health otherwise. Hope you can offer some insight. Dave F.

Hello,
Thank you for using healthcaremagic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
This may be pain refered from your back due to nerve impingement in the spine from spondyloarthritis or discal hernia.
I would say to continue with Ibuprofen and you can add also Tylenol and some physiotherapy procedures such as Ultrasound, tens etc , to relieve your pain.
If pain still persist after 3 months then you should do lower back MRI.
I wish you quick recovery.

I read your question and understood your concern.
It can be spondyloarthrosis/spondylosis or spondylolistesis. All of them cause nerve impingement and iradiating pain in lower back and thing.
I suggest you get a lower back Xray and MRI.
I wish you quick recovery.
