What Causes Pain In The Lower Right Side?

I have a pain on my lower right side. I have had it for about three years. I went to a pain management doctor yesterday and she told me it was my muscles below my stomach. She said she could give me a shot but due to the location of the muscle it would be risky. She said that I need to do exercises such as cruches. She I am 60 years old. Any ideas

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

I would advise you to visit a general surgeon in your locality, who after examining you physically, might advise you for an ultrasound or other related investigations to arrive at a diagnosis for a proper management. I have my own reservations to your going to a pain therapist to get treated for your pain in abdomen,till any intra-abdominal condition has been excluded by a surgeon. The possibilities of the pain for such a long duration could be anything from inflammation/space occupying pathology of the abdominal/pelvic viscera, to a calculi in the urinary system on the right side.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
