What Causes Right Sided Back Pain?
I am experiencing severe back pain in my right side only. I don t think I injured it although I did travel two days ago with heavy bags (including a backpack) but thought any pain from that would ve been noticed sooner. I don t recall doing anything today that resulted in the onset of this pain. Any suggestions on what it could be?

Hello. In the absence of any trauma this may be a kidney stone. They usually pass in a few days but you ought to see a doctor for an exam and urinalysis
