What Causes Pain On The Right Side When Lying On The Back?

I have left flank pain, especially upon lying on my back or right side. I have been to the ER, to see two doctors and had urinalysis performed twice. Nothing showed, but the pain persists. When I am standing, I feel fine,sitting not as comfortable and lying is the worst. I was prescribed short courses of hydrocodone and diazepam, but don't want to become dependent on them for sleep. Any ideas?

Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, it seems that you might be having a muscular pain.
Since your investigations are normal, muscular spasm seems to be the cause of your symptoms.

You should get yourself clinically examined and investigated by a medical professional.

You can take painkiller like Ibuprofen twice daily after meals along with an antacid like Omeprazole 40mg once a day for relief.

Hot fomentation and application of pain relieving gel will be helpful.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
