Back pain is common among adults and it can lead to serious back problems if left untreated. The large majority of upper and lower back pain is caused by muscle strain, and will take care of itself over a period of time with the help of over the counter medications or other natural remedies.
Right side back pain, however, may have other causes, which may warrant a visit to the doctor for a definitive diagnosis and effective treatment plan. It is important to understand what some of the causes of right side back pain might be.
The Possibility of Infection
If you are experiencing pain on the right side of your body that begins as a dull ache and gradually increases in intensity, and is accompanied by other symptoms like fever and nausea, you may have a urinary tract infection. Other symptoms of an infection may include a burning sensation while urinating or a constant pressure in the bladder.
If you suspect that the reason for your right side back pain might be a urinary tract infection, it is a good idea to make an appointment with your doctor. He or she can do a urine test to determine whether you do indeed have an infection, and prescribe medication if necessary.
It Could Be a Hernia
A hernia could be another reason for your right side back pain, especially if the pain is localized to the lower back area. Although a hernia is not a life-threatening condition, it does require treatment by a doctor to avoid possible complications and further pain.
In many cases, the best course of action for a hernia is surgery. The good news is that by repairing the hernia, you will be able to get rid of your right side back pain once and for all.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable bowel syndrome is another condition that can cause right side back pain. This type of pain is generally more widespread, and may include other symptoms like bloating, gas, nausea and fatigue. Irritable bowel syndrome can be treated through a high fiber diet and an increased intake of liquids.
Your doctor may also prescribe medications or other types of treatment to care for your irritable bowel syndrome. If you get this potentially painful condition under control through these methods, you should notice a significant reduction in the pain on the right side of your back as well.
There are a number of reasons why you could be experiencing right side back pain. That is why it is a good idea to see your doctor about your back pain so that you can get an accurate diagnosis and an effective treatment plan. Good luck on your journey towards health and wellness!

Sudden lower back pain with right side abdominal pain – possible causes?
I am a very healthy 33 year old active female in great health. Three days ago my lower back began to ache and I’ve noticed it getting progressively worse. At some points, I cannot stand straight without being in severe pain. I’ve also noticed that it has an accompanying abdominal pain on my lower-mid right side. I can feel it radiate from the back to the front. I did nothing strenuous over the weekend, I can’t think of a single thing I did that may have caused this. I’m wondering if maybe I have an internal infection – but not sure what my possible causes could be. I am currently away from home visiting my parents, so my doctor isn’t around the corner for a simple office visit. Of course if it gets bad enough I’ll go to the ER, but wanted to first explore possible causes online to see if I can match my symptoms to a cause and go from there. Any help would be appreciated.
That sounds like what you get from pinched muscles in your back. All you have to do is twist your body wrong and it can hit you. It’s not serious but painful. All you have to do is release the muscles in your back and the pain will be gone. Here’s how to release it:
Back:
(do from a sitting position)
Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder and find the muscles next to your spine and press on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side
Before you do this take a deep breath and exhale, then try to keep your body this relaxed for best results.
