What Causes Severe Pain On Right Side Of Waist Caused Due To Injury?
I am having a lot of pain on my right side just above my waist line due to a fall I took a couple of days ago. I lost my balance and fell with my full weight against a corner of an end table. Went to the emergency room and they took xrays and a urine sample. No broken bones and no blood in the urine. They gave me a script for pain but it does not seem to be working. It is extremely painful to move especially from a sitting to laying position and vice versa. I am concerned with some possible damage to internal organs but the emergency doc said he didn t feel any thing wrong. I thought they would do an MRI or possibly a cat scan but they didn t. Can t get an appointment with my internal med doc for several days. Don t know what else to do.

HI,
I understand your concern.
You seem to have some injury to nerve supplying musculature of waist area./ muscle injury there. .. making the movements painful.
Rest to the part ( try to lie down or get up using other side ), hot compresses along with medicines ( anti inflammatory ) would help.
Consult an orthopedic doctor for proper advise.
Thanks
