Brief Answer:
Muscle spasm
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
I understand your concern. Lower right side back pain can be due to muscle spasm or osteoarthritis. As your symptoms are acute in onset it is most likely due to muscle spasm.
Majority of lower back pain cases get better within 6 weeks with lower back exercises, anti-inflammatories and pain relievers. Using heat or ice packs on affected area also helps reducing pain.
If your symptoms persist or worsens it is best to meet your family doctor for a thorough examination and treatment.
