What Does Backache On The Right Side Indicate?

My 66 yo husband has been in great pain with his right side and lower back (same side) for 16 hours. He is a very healthy person and is not on any medications. His only surgeries were prostrate and vasectomy. We re wondering if he might have pulled a muscle (?) or if there may be an acute illness happening. He has no other symptoms other than hurting. Than you,

Hello,

With the brief history that you have provided it does look to be a muscle pull you can try muscle relaxants for three days and if it does not subside can visit your doctor.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regard,
Dr. Fahim Sheik
