Suggest Treatment For Right-sided Back Pain
Question: I have pain in my back right above my waist at a specific point. I dont feel any pain in office even after sitting for 8 to 10 hours a day, but its very difficult for me to sit on bed at home. Can you suggest.
Brief Answer:
Likely to be muscular origin.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
Right side back pain just above waist line is likely to be due to muscular (myalgia or muscle spasm) or musculo-skeletal origin since it is more related to posture means pain feels more during sitting at home.
So,I will keep this possibility first and will advise you to use over the counter pain reliever medications (diclogenac or naproxen) with muscle relaxant like mebeverine 200 mg for symptomatic relief for 2 to 3 days.
However,I would like to ask some more information here,
Do you have any history of any injury or fall down?
Since when you are feeling right sided lower back pain?
Is there any other symptoms apart from back pain?
Is the pain is constant or intermittent?
Meanwhile,avoid heavy weight lifting and do hot fomentation frequently in a day.
Avoid the posture which aggravates pain and take rest by lying down on bed if that posture is comfortable.
Hope this will help you and get back to me with more information which I asked.

Dr.Sandip Kabra
