What Causes Mild Pain In The Lower Right Side Of The Back?

I started having light pain in my lower right back. I have tried several of the tests that I read online about Apendix pain. I don t think I have apendisidus,but,I m a little worried.I had NO pain at my navial area,I just started having this Pain this evening. It dose hurt a little when I cough,but not much. I hurt my back last October and have mild pain in my lower back. Should I see a doctor about this or wait till pain gets a little worse?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Pain in the lower right side of the back can be due to muscles, tendons or sprain, infections, kidney stones or appendicitis.

Visit ER & get physically examined(rectal exam). You may have to get CBC, Urinalysis, X-Ray or Imaging tests(CT, USG) to detect the pathology causing you discomfort.

Your symptoms are indicative of appendicitis. Appendectomy is the treatment of choice.

However, your treatment will depend upon the pathology detected. Timely diagnosis & treatment is necessary.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Nupur K, General & Family Physician
