Lower Right Back Pain

Is it pain or tightness? I know a lot of times I'll sleep on my side with my leg bent over on the bed and I'll wake up with my back feeling really stiff. Maybe try some physical therapy if it keeps hurting. Good luck!

I know this is a little late, but I wanted to add to the responses. I've had the same thing and I've seen a chiropractor who has done wonders. Not only have they done adjustments that helped but he has told me that a lot of times the muscles in our legs are so tight that the lower back compensates for it. So be sure to do some stretches with your calves and especially your ham strings. I stand next to a stool or low chair and put my right foot on it and feel the stretch on the bottom of my thigh. I hold it for 20-30 seconds and then do the other leg. I also do a thigh stretch while standing, I grab a hold of my foot and bring it behind me up to my butt and hold for 20 seconds to stretch the top of the thigh and then change sides. I do a few of these every night before going to bed along with stretching my calves and it helps my back. Also, I'm almost 6 months pregnant with twins and it has helped prevent the pulled muscles I used to get in my calves while sleeping. Hope this helps.

If the pain continues Id get it checked out. You could have kidney stones or a kidney infection!!

You might want to check on how you sit in a chair (if you sit in one at work) if you have a habit of sitting with one leg folded under this can case back pain.

The pain I have in my lower back is usually from having a pinched nerve. I see a chiropractor 2xs a month to help with this and neck pain also.

I have the same kind of pain. For me it is my kidney. If I drink soda, or any other acidic drink I will get this pain.

Hi P.!
I get that type of pain every now & then. My chiropractor adjusts my spine & tail bone. Then the pain goes away. Check into a Chiropractor!

God Bless!

I've been having similar issues. Mine was a chiropractic thing, but my sister and my neighbor both had that and it was a kidney infection. Maybe you should get it checked out.

I know you have already read the responses but wanted to add mine. I had the same type of pain and let it go for over 6 months before going to the doctor. It just got worse. I found out I have a bulging disc that is pressing on my nerve. I had 3 epidural shots (I would not do that now) and even botox injections in my back, trying to loosen up the muscles. (Wouldn't do that, either, now). I highly recommend going to the doctor as it has now been 6 YEARS for me. We purchased a sleep number bed, I've been through spine stretching, physical therapy and am STILL in pain every day. I wish I had addressed it right when it started. Best of luck to you!

I'm interested to hear what you find out because I am having severe pain on my left side right above the hip area. Good luck
