Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Could Be The Cause For The Pain In The Back Towards The Right Side?
MY MOM HAS PAIN IN HER BACK ON THE RIGHT SIDE. SHE IS IN THE HOSPITAL AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY CHECKED FOR A KIDNEY STONE, THEY CHECKED FOR DIVERTICULOSIS, WHICH SHE HAS HAD, SHE DOES NOT HAVE A GALLBLADDER. THEY ARE GOING TO DO A X-RAY OF HER BACK NEXT. SHE HAS BEEN IN PAIN FOR DAYS. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Hello, Thanks for your query.
If all these things are normal, then it could be de to degenerative changes in spine or muscle strain. She may go for a physical examination by your Orthopedician to rule out any spine related pathology. She may be prescribed pain killers and/or muscle relaxants which should give you relief. Physiotherapy may also be advised if necessary. I would suggest to try swimming as this will help most in back conditions.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
