What Causes Sudden Pain In Right Lower Back While Walking?

My husband was walking on a treadmill and started getting a pain in his right lower back, between his ribs and hip. The pain continued to escalate until he was unable to move. After using a heating pad and massaging it kind of let up. In about two hours it started again. The pain is taking his breath away and now he s afraid to move. What could that be?
