Hello. I am a 50 yr.old female. I have been having terrible lower back pain, but the pain also extends through the front of my right side. (Imagine an arrow piercing back to front). I ve had my gallbladder, appendix removed as well as a complete hysterectomy. I ve have blood work done recently, everything came back okay. Although, protein was present in my urine. Could I be suffering from lower disc issues that cause the pain to be consistent? I see a pain management physician, and am awaiting MRI results again. It seems nothing major is ever found. Thank you for any advice.
