I am a 60 yr old female. Came up after work and running errands with pain in right side of my back. Normally ice and moist heat helps which it finally did but woke up at 3 this morning with the same pain. Heat and ice aren't working. Can't lay down or sit for any amount of time without being hit with a spasm. Should I see my doctor? I don't know if it's kidney pain or back pain. The pain sometime radiate up to my shoulder blade and the pain is directly below it. I have had this problem before but it's hasn't happened in months. If it were kidney pain, would it happen all the time?
