What Causes Pain In Right Side Of Lower Back?

Started yesterday. My lower back, right lower back, where my kidney is. Started having sharp pain in that region. Pain that ran down my right leg and around to my groin. Sometime sharp shooting pain, then pain becomes more intense when standing. Only relief is lying on my stomach. Urine is normal. Took motrin to relieve pain, now I feel soreness in the kidney area

Urologist,  's  Response
hello
Thanks for query .
Sever pain in lower back which radiates down to groin is mostly due to presence of stone either in kidney or ureter and needs to be investigated .

Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis
3) Renal function test

Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis as regards size and site of the stone and degree of obstruction (Hydronephrosis) that it is causing due to flow of urine from kidney in to bladder .

In the mean while continue taking pain killers .
