Would The Pain In Right Lower Back That Hurts When Standing, Sitting Be Due To Kidney Stones?

Hello,

I am a 27 year old female. Recently I have been having this dull pain in my right lowrish back. It hurts when I stand or sit. Sometimes taking my breathe away when it comes on quickly. I'm nervous they are kidney stones. I've never had them before though. Do I need to be more concerned? I'm scared

thank you!

Hello
Thanks for the query to HCM.
Pain on the right lower back may be due to many reasons , few of them are.
1 Right renal colic or stone is the most common cause. As pain is also radiating to the back , so may be due to renal stone or renal colic.Diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound of kidneys.
This pain also may be due to URINARY TRACT INFECTION , get in urine culture.
2 Appendicular lump or appendicitis (chronic ) . Diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound of abdomen . As physical examination is important as pain present on a typical point ( McBurney point).
3 Ovarian cyst as this is also most common cause and usually pain refers in the back. Diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound of ovary with blood examination for hormones .
In my opinion consult a physician and get his opinion as physical examination is important.
Good luck.
