Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain on the right of the back that you have can be due to a muscle spasm. This can be properly diagnosed after an MRi scan of the area. Rest hot compress and oral muscle relaxants can help. Back strengthening exercises will also help in maintaining the tone of the muscles in the area.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
