What Causes Pain In Right Side Of Body Along With Back?
Hello. I stepped in a hole in the dark and I went down quite hard on my right side. I now have pain in my right side and some what in my back. The pain is not in my ribs and I have no trouble breathing. I had back surgery but that does not seem to bother me. Any idea what it may be?

Hi,
The pain you are experiencing in your right side and back could be caused by a variety of factors. You may have suffered a muscle strain or sprain due to the fall. Another possible cause could be a contusion or bruise on your right side or back. Additionally, you may have injured your lower back or the muscles surrounding your spine.
If the pain is severe, it is recommended that you seek medical attention immediately. Your doctor can assess your symptoms and perform a physical examination to determine the cause of the pain. They may also order diagnostic tests, such as an X-ray or MRI, to evaluate any potential damage to your bones or soft tissue.
Treatment options for pain in the right side and back may include rest, ice or heat therapy, over-the-counter pain medication, physical therapy, or other medical interventions as needed. The specific treatment approach will depend on the underlying cause and severity of your symptoms.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
