What Does Pain In The Lower Back On The Right Side Indicate?

Hello, I have had back pain on my lower right side for the last 4 days or so. I think it is due to my mattress possibly being too firm however, it isn t old and I wouldn t think something like this would come on so sudden and with so much pain. My back is very stiff and any sudden movement triggers a painful spasm that stops me in my tracks for a moment or 2.

Hello -
While many times this is a musculoskeletal issue, one can have a "pinched" nerve in the lower back that can cause similar symptoms.

If the pain persists for more than several weeks, your doctor would order further imaging tests for you.
