What Causes Back Pain On The Right Side?

I have pain in my back on the right side of my spine. It is a pain that feels like a knife in my back and the it lets go. It s like it contracts and then it will relax. the pain is very severe when it hits. Had back surgery 3 yrs ago and had a spacer inserted between the L2 and L3 . Doctor thought this will stop the pain. It did nothing to stop the pain plus all the pain I had from the surgery. Would like a solution to this problem but no seems to know what to do.

I would have your doctor evaluate your spine again, and get further MRI imaging to see if a nerve is getting "pinched". The spacer is designed to help with lumbar stenosis, but it appears you may still have stenosis.
