What Is The Treatment For Stabbing Pain In The Back?
i have been experiencing a very specifically located stabbing pain in my rt. back flank. went to ER last night and my ct scan, and ultrasound, blood, and urine came back normal they told me to take laxatives and the pain would go away. I am still having the same pain sometimes increased in intensity and it does not feel like a cramping or gassy feeling like they told me it was. Im not sure what to do next.

Hi,
It may be due to muscular pain that developed due to muscle spasm or sprain. You can take analgesics like Ibuprofen or Diclofenac for pain relief.
If pain persists, you can consult an orthopaedician and get an MRI scan done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
