What Causes Right Sided Back Pain Upon Waking Up?
I wake up each morning with bad pain in my right side back AND and a pins and needles feeling on the front side of my abdomen. It lasts about 2-3 hours. Then progressively gets better as the day goes on. I can exercise, swim, walk etc and no pain. Eating is no problem, no fever, no nausea, pretty much feel pretty good otherwise. A ultrasound did show gallstones, as did a CT scan. However I do not believe that is what is causing my pain. I am scheduled to have a full body bone scan as the CT showed sclerotic foci in my pelvis, hoping they are bone islands. Would love any thoughts on what you think might be causing this pain every morning. It has been going on for 3 months.

Hello,
Lifestyle plays a major role in causing back pain, poor posture, sports injuries, obesity, psychological stress, stressful life, etc. Tissue injuries may cause pain due to limited movement, muscle spasms, tenderness, swelling, pain may worsen after sitting or getting out of bed.
You may take NSAIDS, Naproxen, one SOS for relief. Pain relieving ointments and sprays may be helpful. Physical therapy and cold / hot packs may help. Disorders in the internal organs like, kidneys, pancreas, colon or uterus may also present with such symptoms. Get clinically examined, get CT. MRI, Blood & Urinalysis done, get treated at the earliest.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
