Brief Answer:
Gallstones or urinary tract infection can be the reason.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Such symptoms are quite characteristic for gallstones or urinary tract infection. With gallstones pain very often radiates to back. Nausea, vomiting, lack of appetite can be also present. The pain should get worse after fatty foods.
It is also possible that your recent urinary tract infection has not been cured. It could rich the right kidney so you have a back pain in this location.

I suggest you to consult your doctor once again. Blood work, urine analysis and abdominal ultrasound should be done.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
