[|Human|] Hey---Im a 47 year old white male and Ive been experiencing lower back pain for several months. Ive seen a neurosurgeon recently and he is referred me to a nerve specialist to do a EGI. In the meantime, two days ago I woke up with a sharp pain in my lower right side, more towards my back than the front. No pains in my belly or problems with urination. I had my appendix removed a couple years ago. But this pain in really sharp and it stays in one spot. It doesnt seem to be anything wrong with my kidneys, but the pain is in that area. What are your thoughts?
