What Causes Pain In Back On Right Side After Waking Up?
Hi. I recently started waking up in the morning with achy pain in my lower back/side - right side. I have had back pain before so know it's not that. It's not anywhere near the spine (more on the side) and above the real lower back where I have had back pain in the past. I'm sleeping in the same bed so that has not changed. I believe it's my kidney. It hurts and aches but then goes away after an hour or so after waking. What might this be?

Hi welcome to hcm,
I understand your query and concern.
As per your clinical description of pain,it usually points to renal stone located somewhere in the lower ureter.For this you need to have a CT scan of the abdomen for accurate assessment.Gelusil cannot control this pain.
I advise you to have Tab Tramadol and Tab.Pantop 40 mg,a course of antibiotic taken under medical prescription to control this pain.Further expert management depends on the outcome of the CT scan result.If the size of stone is more than 5 cm then depending on the location of stone Extra corporeal lithotropsy can be done.Meanwhile you need to take soft and less spicy foods.Drink 3-4 litres of water everyday.Fruits,fruit juices,vegetable salads,soups should be taken.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
