What Causes Severe Pain In The Lower Back?
I have had lower back surgery about three years ago. The pain is chronic and does not get better. I have tried nerve block surgery and other types of treatments. Over the last few weeks I have been having severe pain in my upper right portion of my back. Stabbing pain usually when I turn or lay down.

Hello,
It could be a spine-related problem like a prolapsed disc.
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist you can consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
