What Causes Sharp Pain In Lower Right Side?
Hi I am a fit 49 yr woman . I got a nagging pain in the very center of my lower back app 30 hours ago, but now it has moved completely to my lower right side and seems to be over a bigger area and it is quite sharp and intense. I also feel a little sickish. Do u think it is just mussel damage. Thank you.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
You might be suffering from Acute mechanical back pain.
1. Hard bed rest for 2-3 days
2. Take some muscle relaxants like myoril 8 mg, etc., along with pain killers like diclofenac 50mg. You can continue using volini spray.
3. Hot water fomentation to back 2-3 times a day
4. Physiotherapy - Interferential therapy (IFT) to your back will help you relieve the pain
5. Avoid driving, leaning forward, sitting for prolonged time or lifting heavy weights. These activities can increase your back pain.
Even after a week if your pain doesn't gets relieved, better to get yourself examined by an orthopaedician. He might ask you to take an Xray of your back
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
