The cause of lower right back pain can be from the same source as overall lower back pain. But there are some that have a specific cause that is not ordinary. With the kidneys located on the lower back side of the body, the source of pain could be there. If this is so you might have a kidney stone. This could be on either side but with the specifically located pain, the doctors would know which kidney to test.
One of the good things about a kidney stone being the source of your lower right back pain is that your back is not injured and that the procedure to remove the kidney stone usually does not involve surgery. Most kidney stones are naturally passed out of your system through your urinary tract. When they reach the size of 3 millimeters or more this can no longer happen.
The most common procedure for the removal of a kidney stone is with the use of an ultrasound machine. This is a non-evasive procedure that takes sound waves to pulverize the kidney stone. This treatment is continued until the stone is broken up to a size that can pass down your urinary tract and be expelled. At times this will have some pain if the chucks are of sufficient size to rub against the walls of your tract but they should pass and your source of pain will be gone.
There are other known reasons for lower right back pain and these are not as pleasant. Some of the unfortunate sufferers find out that they have a tumor as the source of pain. This source should be dealt with and properly diagnosed by a qualified physician after the patient is examined. There is absolutely no way of diagnosing this outside of the hospital.
The most common source of lower right back pain in women is from a natural process. This is how many women first know that they are pregnant. The pain starts off as more of a morning irritation, but within 5 top 10 weeks of the egg becoming fertilized, the pain is noticeable enough to complain. This is when the men in their lives know something is different. For each woman, the pain starts at different times. The size of the woman’s body and the growth rate of the embryo are just a couple of the deciding factors to when the pain arrives and to what severity it occurs.
There is relief for this specific type of lower right back pain and it will arrive approximately 9 months after the egg was first fertilized. Until then pain management is the best course of action to take. Breathing exercises have show to give some relief. To take some of the strain off the spinal column and relax the muscles, a woman can lay on her side with a pillow placed between her legs at the knee to bring limited relief. But until birth, this is a condition that will not go away and is treatable.
