[|Human|] I am 62 yr old female and have been in excellent. I eat very healthy and workout 5 days per week for 60-90 mins. Recently I have been getting sharp intermitten pain on right side (obliques)and back. Sometime lower abs. Severe pain occurs 3-5 times per day and also occuring in middle of night waking me up. Pain lasts about 30 mins. What could be causing this?
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for your query. The pain on right side of the back could be due to a renal infection or a stone if the pain does not seem to be muscular in nature. This can be ruled out after getting an ultrasound scan done. If the pain is aggravated with deep breathing or coughing then a rib injury or a muscular sprain is likely. The other causes that need to be ruled out include lung infections like pleuritic. Stopping smoking might help in reducing the symptoms do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
