What Causes Lower Right Back Pain?

I am 63 year old women with a history of pancreatic cancer and liver cancer. I have had lower right pain in the soft part of my back. Sometimes it is just sore and sometimes it is a bit sharper. What could this be.? I have exercised regularly for years so I son t think it is a pulled muscle.

Hi three. The lower back pain on your right lower side could be either a trigger point over a muscle which can be treated easily with manipulation and massaging. Now the nature of pain is what is more important. If you are having a lower back pain which is radiating all along the side then it might need some evaluation, as that is a red flag sign; given the prior history of liver and pancreatic cancer. A trigger point is a relatively small localized area of tenderness in the soft tissue. So go for a trigger point release from a physiotherapist and see how it helps.
