Suggest Treatment For Severe Throbbing Pain In Lower Back

Hello, I have been experiencing severe throbbing pain on my right lower side the shoots towards my lower back. The best way to describe it is as though I ran so much and I have a side pain then at sime point bothe sides begain to throb. A couple of years ago I experienced something similar and I was admitted for a kidney infection. I took the medications as directed however the pain has always come back at some point. As of monday I woke up with a horrible stomach ache it felt as if I was punched in the stomach, it hurt to breath normal and my stomach was obviously swollen. The pain in my stomach has subsided however the pain has relocated to my side again under around my ribcage. Throughout the day the pain in my stomach comes and followed by the side pain on rhe right. Now both sides are hurting located by the ribcages and its a throbbing feeling. I have no insurance and dread the bill but I need some possible symptoms to push me in to the urgent care. I am a 28 year old female. Thank you

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.
Due to compression of this nerve root there is pain in your rib

There is another possibility of costochondritis

I will advise you to do MRI thoracic spine, HRCT [CHEST] and EMG- NCV [nerve conduction study]
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
