What Does Severe Pain In The Lower Back Indicate?
I have a pain which starts in my lower back on the right side and spreads up my back like a slow burn. It only happens once I am sound asleep. After I have been sleeping about two hours, it wakes me up out of a dead sleep. That s how much it hurts. The pain reminds me of a menstrual cramp. It is very uncomfortable. Only taking ibuprofen seems to help. The pain subsides after about two hours after I have taken the ibuprofen. What is this?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Get ultrasound abdomen done and see if it's a renal stone. Usually, pelvic cysts may present with pain in the back in the region you are pointing to.
But, renal stones can't be ruled out until you get an ultrasound abdomen report.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Rana Ahsan Javed
